Package: util-linux
Version: 2.20.1-4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The 'moreutils' package has a 'parallel' command, and so does the
'parallel' package. If the 'parallel' package is installed over a
pre-existing installation of 'moreutils', two diversions are created
(one for the 'parallel' util, and another for its man page):
% dlocate parallel | grep diversion
diversion by parallel from: /usr/share/man/man1/parallel.1.gz
diversion by parallel to: /usr/share/man/man1/parallel.moreutils.1.gz
diversion by parallel from: /usr/bin/parallel
diversion by parallel to: /usr/bin/parallel.moreutils
The resultant 'whereis' output is inconsistent:
% whereis parallel
parallel: /usr/bin/parallel.moreutils /usr/bin/parallel /etc/parallel
/usr/bin/X11/parallel.moreutils /usr/bin/X11/parallel
/usr/share/man/man1/parallel.1.gz
% whereis parallel.moreutils
parallel: /usr/bin/parallel.moreutils /usr/bin/parallel /etc/parallel
/usr/bin/X11/parallel.moreutils /usr/bin/X11/parallel
/usr/share/man/man1/parallel.1.gz
For clarity, let's spread out that 'whereis' output, and use line
numbers:
% whereis parallel | tr ' ' '\n' | nl -s " "
1 parallel:
2 /usr/bin/parallel.moreutils
3 /usr/bin/parallel
4 /etc/parallel
5 /usr/bin/X11/parallel.moreutils
6 /usr/bin/X11/parallel
7 /usr/share/man/man1/parallel.1.gz
Lines #2 & #5 probably don't belong.
% whereis parallel.moreutils | tr ' ' '\n' | nl -s " "
1 parallel:
2 /usr/bin/parallel.moreutils
3 /usr/bin/parallel
4 /etc/parallel
5 /usr/bin/X11/parallel.moreutils
6 /usr/bin/X11/parallel
7 /usr/share/man/man1/parallel.1.gz
Lines #1, #3, #6, & #7 probably don't belong. The package name (#1)
is incorrect. The man page name (#7) is incorrect.
HTH...
