I have been trying to install hal, but no luck. Everytime, I end up getting an error, and couldn't find enough information to resolve the issue:

>>> Installing sys-apps/hal-0.5.11-r8
 * checking 171 files for package collisions
 * This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other
 * packages (see list below). You can use a command such as `portageq
 * owners / <filename>` to identify the installed package that owns a
 * file. If portageq reports that only one package owns a file then do
 * NOT file a bug report. A bug report is only useful if it identifies at
 * least two or more packages that are known to install the same file(s).
 * If a collision occurs and you can not explain where the file came from
 * then you should simply ignore the collision since there is not enough
 * information to determine if a real problem exists. Please do NOT file
 * a bug report at http://bugs.gentoo.org unless you report exactly which
 * two packages install the same file(s). Once again, please do NOT file
 * a bug report unless you have completely understood the above message.

Hal is still not installed. It doesn't show under /var/db/pkg/sys-apps/

Any one got in the same situation ?
