In cases like this the precedent is to use a dash (-) to disambiguate. For instance the 'ack' searching tool (http://beyondgrep.com/) is in a package called 'ack-grep' to avoid a conflict with an earlier 'ack' package. Could this package be called something like 'gpx-cnc'? Or 'gpx-3d'? A better name exists, probably. Do you think such a change is good, or just keeping it 'gpx' is the way to go? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
