:( Thanks Andreas for the heads-up, I missed this name clash. I knew tat the 'bat' binary name and manpage were taken by the bareos-bat package up to Buster. That package has now been dropped, and I happily packaged 'bat' without renames, as I didn't know that bacula-console-qt was installing those files too; bareos-bat had a Conflits/Replaces on bacula-console-qt, so there was no name clash in that case. I guess I'll have to rename some files here. This isn't obvious at the moment as the build dependencies for rust-bat are not satisfied in unstable. Paride
