Possible solutions are to have the two packages conflict, to rename the common file in one of the two packages, or to remove the file from one package and have this package depend on the other package. File diversions or a Replace relation are another possibility. Here is a list of files that are known to be shared by both packages (according to the Contents file for sid/amd64, which may be slightly out of sync): usr/bin/s3 This bug is assigned to both packages. If you, the maintainers of the two packages in question, have agreed on which of the packages will resolve the problem please reassign the bug to that package. -Ralf. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

As the s3 tool is only a testing tool in the afflib package and that it's not essential to afflib users, I renamed the tool s3-afflib this morning in git: http://git.debian.org/?p=forensics/afflib.git;a=commitdiff;h=5b870b00b2c62dc94648178f0de1e9573cab60fa Anyway, I'm waiting comments from other debian-forensics members, if no one complains, it will be uploaded. Finally, I think that it's a good idea to change both utilities names because, one day or another, I suspect that a real Amazon s3 tool could come up with the same name. And since tab completion exists, such a short name is not needed anymore :-) -- Christophe Monniez christophe.monn...@fccu.be -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Anyway, I'm waiting comments from other debian-forensics members, if no one complains, it will be uploaded. ACK from my side. Finally, I think that it's a good idea to change both utilities names because, one day or another, I suspect that a real Amazon s3 tool could come up with the same name. And since tab completion exists, such a short name is not needed anymore :-) ACK, very short command names are calling for troubles in the long run. regards, -mika- signature.asc Description: Digital signature
