Aha, you're not doing anything wrong. The old 14.7.x version was slotted: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/diff/net-misc/teamviewer/teamviewer-14.7.1965.ebuild?id=2766d49e7c040d373685775a4515967cd0f1b33e The new ones aren't (they're all SLOT=0). But the new ones install to the same place as the old 14.7.x versions. Since slotted packages aren't supposed to conflict, it's complaining that SLOT=0 and SLOT=14.7 (or whatever it was) are trying to install to the same place. I guess the developer never noticed the problem because he was on a faster upgrade schedule. You can fix it by uninstalling the old version manually, and then installing the new one.
