Title:
Package name misleading
To manage notifications about this bug go to:
As a note, in Gentoo they don't use underscores in package names, but
they do use dashes. Therefore, the executable dd_rescue is packaged
under dd-rescue and executable ddrescue is packaged under it's own name.

So now we need to turn this bugreport into a removal request for
ddrescue I presume.
How do you know the actual name of the binary it creates without
installing it?

gddrescue installs a binary called ddrescue

gddrescue combines both dd_rescue and dd_rhelp into one program
ddrescue is no longer active
gddrescue deprecates ddrescue and I believe it's time to drop ddrescue
from the repos.
This naming scheme seems like a problem to m
See my previous comment. Basically, gddrescue is called gddrescue, and
ddrescue is known as ddrescue or dd_rescue. I may have got the wrong end
of the stick here, and if I have please could you explain to me why the
problem still persists for you.

Had a chat on IRC, and gddrescue only installs a binary package called
gddrescue, so there should be no conflicts. If you feel that this bug is
still a problem, then please reopen it and state why you believe that to
be the case.

So would I be right in thinking that
1. There is a source package called ddrescue, which is in fact dd_rescue
2. ddrescue is a binary package installed be the source package gddrescue
?

The author of dd_rhelp:
"I really encourage you to use this replacement tool if it works for you

"maybe ddrescue could be a virtual package which depends on gddrescue,

attempting data recovery."
I think that would make it even more confusing. Even the creator of

Unfortunately there are 2 different ddrescue packages in Debian. One is
dd_rescue from http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/ddrescue/ and the other
is ddrescue from http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html.
Neither of these homepages are described in their packages which was

This "bug" "affected" me as well. I couldn't find the real ddrescue,
until I looked better. I thoughed gddrescue was a gnome utility for
ddrescue, because of the name. Guess standard names makes you lazy. ;-)
I would like if this is solved as well, the way the reporter mentioned.
