Package: sleuthkit
Version: 1.61-4
Priorit: wishlist
Currently sleuthkit Conflicts: tct since it provides some common binary
files, namely /usr/bin/ils and /usr/bin/mactime. However, there are some
tools in tct which would be useful to forensic investigators (lazarus,
unrm) and it might not be completely unreasonable to think that some users
might want to have both installed [1].
Currently the only package that depends on sleuthkit is autopsy (and
hardcodes the location of the binaries). Would it be too unreasonable to
ask sleuthkit to work a way to avoid conflicting with tct?
Too optsion come to my mind:
- change the name of the binaries that conflict with tct (the patch
attached changes autopsy files too so that it uses 'ils-tk' or 'mactime-tk'
instead of tct version)
- use an alternatives mechanism coordinated with tct (if they truly provide
the same functionality).
Feel free to reassign this to 'tct' if you thing it woulb be appropiate to
have tct rename its binaries. However IMHO both maintainers should find a
way to have their packages coexist someway.
Regards
Javier Fernandez-Sanguino
[1] If just for the fact that there is plenty of documentation in the
Internet still referencing tct tools and for the fact that one tool (tct)
can be used to confirm the results of another one (sleuthkit's)
