Any help appreciated

None of the installed packages claim the file(s).

If nothing owns those files, you can technically remove them and remerge.

Another more clean way might be to remove mysql first:

Code: Select all

emerge -C  dev-db/mysql

Alternatively to force overwrite, and thus ignore collisions you can use:

Code: Select all

FEATURES="-collision-protect" emerge dev-db/mysql

This is a lesser clean way to handle the problem.

Keep in mind that whenever you use portage you should always inform Entropy about the changes you made:

Code: Select all
