Emerge -uvDa --newuse world now gives me this on attempting to update mailbase.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Do you want me to merge these packages? [Yes/No] yes >>> emerge (1 of 2) net-mail/mailbase-0.00-r9 to / * Checking for possible file collisions... * //etc/pam.d/pop3 exists and wasn't provided by mailbase * //etc/pam.d/imap exists and wasn't provided by mailbase * //etc/pam.d/imap4 exists and wasn't provided by mailbase * //etc/pam.d/imap4s exists and wasn't provided by mailbase * //etc/pam.d/imaps exists and wasn't provided by mailbase * Those files listed above have to be removed in order to * install this version of mailbase. * If you edited them, remember to backup and when restoring make * sure the first line in each file is: * # Provided by mailbase (dont remove this line!) !!! ERROR: net-mail/mailbase-0.00-r9 failed. !!! Function pkg_setup, Line 50, Exitcode 0 !!! Can't be installed, files will collide !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. Where did these packages come from if not from mailbase? How do I fix this wothout thrashing my e-mail system?
