Package: debian-policy Severity: wishlist other solutions are possible, this is my preference.
it should be possible to install the following sets of packages at the same time: 1. rsh-client and heimdal-clients 2. telnet, telnet-ssl, and heimdal-clients. This requires new virtual packages. I propose: 1. rsh-client 2. telnet-client as this goes along the same lines as ftp-server and pop3-server. The catch: newer packages would have to conflict with old versions of the rsh-client *package*: rsh-client (<< version) however, this would also conflict with the *virtual package* (is the above even legal?). Proposed solution: rename rsh-client (the *package*) to something else, eg rclients (which seems more appropriate as it contains more then just rsh). Note: telnet is more important as there telnet-ssl and heimdal-clients provide different security implementations. rsh isn't so important, as one is secure (and backward compatible) and the other one isn't; still rsh-client contains programs not included in heimdal-clients, eg rcp. -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
