This happens to devel/py-setuptools-scm, if devel/py-setuptools_scm7 is 
installed:


===>  Building for py311-setuptools-scm-8.0.4

Vice versa, if devel/py-setuptools-scm is installed, 
devel/py-setuptools_scm7 has a conflict:

Installing py311-setuptools_scm7-7.1.0...
pkg-static: py311-setuptools_scm7-7.1.0 conflicts with 
py311-setuptools-scm-8.0.4 (installs files into the same place). 
Problematic file: 
/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/setuptools_scm/__init__.py
*** Error code 1



Any ideas? I really need both installed because of dependencies, scm 
v7.1.0 and v8.0.4.

Thanks for any hint.

Best wishes,
Rainer
