For the recent upgrade of mailbase (from 1.1 to 1.5-r1), I get a collision on /var/mail
| Code: | emerge mailbase

Okay, fine let me utilize "-collision-protect and -protect-owned" in FEATURES to force it;
| Code: | | FEATURES="-collision-protect -protect-owned" emerge mailbase |
Yep I get the same collision issue, same if I use the FEATURES in make.conf.
| Code: | emerge -pv mailbase
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

FWIW this is a mailhub box with its own /var/mail partition and /var/spool/mail linked to it, i.e.
| Code: | df -k /var/mail
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/bootvg-varmail 10321208 154976 9641944 2% /var/mail |
and the links as follows;
| Code: | ls -al /var/spool/mail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jul 26 2011 /var/spool/mail -> /var/mail |
Maybe that is it. |

Solved by moving /var/mail partition to /var/spool/mail, setting a hard link from /var/mail -> /var/spool/mail.
All this done with sendmail, etc (anything accessing /var/mail) down.
Then the;
| Code: | | FEATURES="-collision-protect -protect-owned" emerge mailbase |
Works. |
