This +may result in your package manager reporting file collisions. + +The respective symlinks were previously either unowned and created +dynamically by app-eselect/eselect-python, or installed by it. From now +on, all Python-related symlinks are installed and handled +by python-exec. This ensures that they respect the python-exec +configuration files and variables consistently with regular Python +packages, and improves their reliability. + +If you are using FEATURES=collision-protect, Portage will reject +the upgrade. If this is the case, please temporarily switch to +FEATURES=protect-owned for the upgrade. + +If you are using FEATURES=protect-owned, Portage will verbosely warn +about the file collisions but will proceed with the upgrade once +determining no replaced files are owned.
