Right. I know it's supposed to. But on a clean 2.5 build/install on a
clean system, gnomevfs-extras did not get built because
${X11BASE}/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libsmb.so already existed. And it
looked from my build logs that it was devel/gnomevfs2 that probably 
installed that file.

I'm trying to understand if this is reproducable behaviour.

Remove gnomevfs-extras, make sure that ${X11BASE}/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libsmb.so
doesn't exist, and then reinstall gnomevfs2. Please let me know whether
or not libsmb.so is installed.

Right. According to our pkg-plists, that's what is supposed to happen.
But they don't necessarily reflect reality, and I am trying to find out
if that is the case.

Right, but if they both are installing the same file, there's a
conflict.

Can somebody test this please?
