Public bug reported:

the python-demjson package binary is named "jsonlint"

For some unimaginable reason,in the 15.04 release, it appears to have
been broken and renamed jsonlint-py.

The man page still names it jsonlint.  The underlying pip package is
named demjson and still installs itself as jsonlint.

Please fix.  You should not be installing a pip package under an
incompatible name - one that's incompatible with both the old name, and
with the pip package it's based one.


$ whereis jsonlint
jsonlint: /usr/share/man/man1/jsonlint.1.gz
alanr@system76:~/monitor/src/cma$ whereis jsonlint-py
jsonlint-py: /usr/bin/jsonlint-py /usr/share/man/man1/jsonlint-py.1.gz

If you read either man page, the command is named "jsonlint". So that's
three to one for it being broken:

 - previous releases called it jsonlint
 - the man pages call it jsonlint
 - the underlying pip package calls it jsonlint
