Subject: Bug#669563: dvb-apps conflicts nmh
Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2012, 06:37:37
From: Anders Hammarquist <i...@debian.org>
To: Debian Bug Tracking System <sub...@bugs.debian.org>
Package: dvb-apps
Version: 1.1.1+rev1457-4
Severity: normal
The most recent dvb-apps conflicts with nmh. While they contain a file
with the same name (/usr/share/man/man1/scan.1.gz), the correct solution
is not to conflict, as they do not provide even remotely similar
functionality, but rather for dvb-apps to not provide this file. (n)mh
clearly has precedence, having provided that particular command for several
decades.
