The packages provide different functionality. They should therefore not conflict. If you cannot agree on who should rename their binary, both packages will have to rename it. See http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html first paragraph. Tho I think that putty being the more senior one should have the right of the name and not be forced to rename its binaries. -- | .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** Peter Palfrader | : :' : The universal http://www.palfrader.org/ | `. `' Operating System | `- http://www.debian.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
