While performing the latest update world, I seem to get stuck with the last two updates:

Code:
[ebuild     U ]   x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.1.3 [1.1.5-r1] USE="hal%* -debug" 0 kB
[ebuild     U ]   x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.552-r2 [8.501] USE="acpi -debug" 0 kB


Package collisions seem to cause ati-drivers to fail. See below:

Code:
>>> Installing x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.552-r2
 * checking 125 files for package collisions
 * This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other
 * packages (see list below). You can use a command such as `portageq
 * owners / <filename>` to identify the installed package that owns a
 * file. If portageq reports that only one package owns a file then do
 * NOT file a bug report. A bug report is only useful if it identifies at
 * least two or more packages that are known to install the same file(s).
 * If a collision occurs and you can not explain where the file came from
 * then you should simply ignore the collision since there is not enough
 * information to determine if a real problem exists. Please do NOT file
 * a bug report at http://bugs.gentoo.org unless you report exactly which
 * two packages install the same file(s). Once again, please do NOT file
 * a bug report unless you have completely understood the above message.
 *
 * Detected file collision(s):
 *
 *      /usr/lib/opengl/ati/extensions/libglx.so
 *
 * Searching all installed packages for file collisions...
 *
 * Press Ctrl-C to Stop
 *
 * x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r5
 *      /usr/lib/opengl/ati/extensions/libglx.so
 *
 * Package 'x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.552-r2' NOT merged due to file
 * collisions. If necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole
 * content of the above message.

>>> Failed to install x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.552-r2, Log file:

>>>  '/var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.552-r2/temp/build.log'


And I cannot skip the ati-driver and update evdev because of dependancies. Any idea where to look to fix this? All other 63 packages installed without a hitch.

The build log showed nothing helpful.

I encountered this last week but I forget how I resolved it. Try removing the old ATI driver then emerging the new one.

Code:
emerge -C ati-drivers

Code:
emerge -av ati-drivers


If that doesn't work, you could remove x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati (if it's installed) before installing ati-drivers, then install it again after.

OK renamed /usr/lib/opengl/ati/extensions/libglx.so to /usr/lib/opengl/ati/extensions/libglx.so.old and it installed. Usually it just overwrites if I give no input. Any idea why it caused a stop in this case?


Edit - Thanks link, just saw your post after I posted this.
