Package: docker.io
Version: 0.8.0+dfsg1-2
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
Unfortunately, /usr/bin/docker is provided by the docker package. Thus, I
imagine, the renaming of the command to docker.io.
This is problematic, though, as a docker.io user tends to use quite a lot the
docker.io command, and following upstream documentation becomes painful.
In addition, scripts need to be adapted too (see #740855).
I think that maybe the docker tool in docker package isn't a command-line that
most users would trigger so often, as residing in a desktop environment, and
could then very well be renamed without anyone noticing (but saved sessions)...
Any opinions ?
Best regards,

Heyya Olivier, pleasure as always :)
A policy refresher for those who stumble on this bug and want to know
more about why it's being closed.
| 10.1 Binaries
|
| Two different packages must not install programs with different
| functionality but with the same filenames. (The case of two programs
| having the same functionality but different implementations is handled
| via "alternatives" or the "Conflicts" mechanism. See Maintainer
Scripts,
| Section 3.9 and Conflicting binary packages - Conflicts, Section 7.4
| respectively.) If this case happens, one of the programs must be
| renamed. The maintainers should report this to the debian-devel mailing
| list and try to find a consensus about which program will have to be
| renamed. If a consensus cannot be reached, both programs must be renamed.
(I avoided this, docker was there first. I'm planning on renaming it to
wmdocker, but doing this switch sucks for everyone)
node vs nodejs broke (/sbin/node vs /usr/bin/node) and ctte mandated the
change. I see no reason why we're any more special.
Cheers,
Paul
