Long story short: older eclass compiled Python byte code in live file system, new one does it in src_install so .pyo/.pyc gets properly recorded, so the package *has to overwrite* files that are not owned by anyone (no package owns them). I've talked to Zac and: >>> There's not much else you can do. However, FEATURES="protect-owned" is enabled by default, and it will work fine if the .pyo and .pyc files are not owned by anything. I don't know why people use FEATURES="collision-protect", but at least you can tell them that they'll still have a reasonable level of protection from FEATURES="protect-owned" (it protect against file collisions between packages). <<< If you want to help feel free to suggest *how* to fix it, patches are especially welcomed :) -- Krzysztof Pawlik <nelchael at gentoo.org> key id: 0xF6A80E46 desktop-misc, java, vim, kernel, python, apache...
