Package: parallel
Version: 20130922-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
at the moment, the package parallel/testing conflicts with moreutils/testing, as
both are shipping the binary /usr/bin/parallel. There's no need for such
conflict; in wheezy for example, moreutils' parallel is located in
parallel.moreoutils.
I'm dropping down here some fragments of the discussion I've had on
#debian-next. Hope they might be useful for you.
<babilen> moreutil's parallel should have just been replaced by the GNU version,
but that discussion is *old*
<themill> (in wheezy, parallel just diverts /usr/bin/parallel.moreutils)
<themill> It would be appropriate to file a bug against parallel here --
there's no need for that conflict and I don't believe that policy
permits ot
If there's any way I could help fixing this, I would be glad to offer my help.
