Normally it should be OK when one of the two packages closes the bug. That is the sematics of assigning a bug to two packages. However, I am not sure whether that feature of the BTS is used a lot so I wouldn't exclude completely that there is a bug. Please observe what is going on with the packages, if they continue to be blocked from testing migration please talk to the release team.

Bug#520445: speech-tools: tries to overwrite file owned by powerman
Dear Arnaud and Ralf (Jim kept in CC), I have uploaded speech-tools/1:1.2.96~beta-4 to unstable, which is supposed to fix this problem. Unfortunately, it looks as though it will not migrate to testing automatically as it says "Updating speech-tools introduces new bugs: #520445" on the PTS page. Does powerman also require an upload? Or is there a way to indicate that this issue has been sorted out? Thanks, and sorry for the trouble. Kumar -- Kumar Appaiah signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hi Kumar, Jim has a point with the compat, and the fact that power related topics are *very* sensible. so thanks for opening the door. 2009/3/19 Kumar Appaiah > Dear Arnaud, > > On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 10:39:44PM +0100, Arnaud Quette wrote: > >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? > > It is a non-sophisticated pitchmarking Perl script.

Bug#520445: speech-tools: tries to overwrite file owned by powerman
Hi Arnaud and Kumar - In PowerMan, pm is an alias for "powerman". I believe I called that out as a bad thing in a code review some six years ago, however I failed to convince the maintainer at the time, and now doing so will likely break a lot of poeple's scripts. PowerMan is used for example by people's test harnesses to simulate loss of a server when testing distributed software. So while I agree with you, keeping it in will likely avoid some pain. An option would be to remove it in debian/ubuntu only, as there is less of an entrenched user base there.

Bug#520445: speech-tools: tries to overwrite file owned by powerman
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/
