Package: xball Version: 3.1.0+dfsg-2 Severity: serious Usertag: bin-games-conflict
Your package "xball" installs its main program into /usr/games/xball. It also installs a .desktop file, specifying Exec=xball. Thus, it relies on "xball" to be unique in the users PATH. This is not the case for the whole distribution. The "libxrt-utils" package can be installed simultaneously and installs /usr/bin/xball. Your desktop entry will the launch the "libxrt-utils" program instead. It is unclear how to best resolve this. Personally, I think you should install your program into /usr/bin, picking a new name. See the debian-policy bug 1098948 for related discussion. If you disagree that your package should change, please reassign this bug to *both* packages, and CC: the other maintainer. Chris
