Salut Ralph, Jim, @Jim (Powerman upstream): speech-tools and powerman both install files with the same name (namely "pm" and its manpage). while the latter has already been reported and somehow fixed [1] (thanks Kumar BTW ;-), the former [2] wasn't. The full bug reports are linked below.
A quick investigation seems to show that the problem is limited to these 2 files. The best solution is to solve this upstream, by renaming one or the other. In PowerMan, pm stands well for Power Man, and is the client tool. What is exactly pm in speech-tools? @Jim (partly off-topic): I personaly feel that 2 letters command names should be kept for the base system itself (ls, cp, rm, ...) A possible quick and acceptable (?) solution would be to rename Powerman's pm to pmc or pmclient or powermanc or whatever suits you and is coherent. Note that NUT currently use the former with upsc, but the reflexion underway with the new PDU support is to merge the 3 client tools (upsc, upscmd, upsrw) into a single nutclient or nut-client or ... you get the idea. that might be another point in favor of the nut merge ;-) cheers, Arnaud -- [1] http://bugs.debian.org/520001 [2] http://bugs.debian.org/520445 -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - http://www.eaton.com/mgeops Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://people.debian.org/~aquette/ Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/
