Package: util-linux Version: 2.13-1 Severity: normal
Hi, Before the recent util-linux uploads, perl has registered the /usr/bin/rename alternative, pointing to prename. The latest util-linux also registers rename.ul as a /usr/bin/rename alternative. The trouble is that these two implementations are completely incompatible even for the most simple usage. Therefore the alternative does not make any sense, as there is no way they can be used instead of each other. So util-linux should either not ship it's rename implementation at all, or the util-linux implementation should be renamed and should _not_ be registered as an alternative for /usr/bin/rename.
