At first glance, I don't think icmd (and qcmd for that matter) are important binaries for the renameutils package that need to be in /usr/bin/. I think they could probably be moved to something like /usr/lib/renameutils/, fixing the conflict between the two packages. That said, I don't have time in the short time to get this done. If someone wants to help push this forward, this is what I think would be needed: - moving both icmd and qcmd to /usr/lib/renameutils/ - creating patches for upstream code to change where the other commands (imv, icp, qmv, qcp) look for icmd/qcmd - testing that all four commands still work - writing a NEWS.Debian entry warning users that icmd and qcmd have moved - submitting a merge request on salsa I can commit to reviewing such a merge request. Otherwise, if it's not urgent, I will get to it once I have a little bit of free time. Francois -- https://fmarier.org/
