Package: orville-write
Version: 2.55-3
Severity: important
orville-write uses alternatives to ship a variant of write(1). For
similar reasons, it also diverts mesg(1).
write(1) will move from src:bsdmainutils to src:util-linux, and
orville-write is the only other package supplying a write
implementation, with a different feature set, and unclear compatibility.
Please stop using alternatives, and also implement diverting write,
like its done already for mesg. The new binary package in src:util-linux
will probably get a Breaks/Conflicts: relationship to orville-write (<<
2.55-4~) in the hope that this will be fixed.
Thanks,
Chris
