Thank you for report. It is really unfortunate, because `mmh' programs tend to invoke one another, and, while to the best of my understanding, `pick' is dead end, there are chances that I am wrong, and things will shatter if I rename `pick' binary. I will discuss this issue with mmh upstream and `pick' package maintainer.
Bug#837976: mmh: Fails to install if package pick is installed
Package: mmh Version: 0.3-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I can't install mmh because it conflicts with files that are present in a completely unrelated package (pick, a" utility to choose one option from a set of choices"): *** Preparing to unpack .../archives/mmh_0.3-1_i386.deb ... Unpacking mmh (0.3-1) ... dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/mmh_0.3-1_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/pick.1.gz', which is also in package pick 1.1.1-1+b1 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/mmh_0.3-1_i386.deb *** Could you, perhaps, pick another name for the pick utility contained in your package?
