I want to install sendmail, but when ssmtp is installed a file
collision with mailer.conf is detected. ssmtp was also installed
previously with -mailwrapper in the USE and has since been unmerged.
The problem
started when taking -mailwrapper out of the ssmtp USE variable. The
emerge trace for ssmtp is below. How can I ignore the collision and
get everything installed?
Thanks,
Dave
