Bug#1451: `ghostviewR6' conflict with ghostview &c
Package: ghostviewR6
The ghostviewR6 package
(a) fails to use the correct name for GhostScript (gs).
(b) fails to say `Depends: X11R6'.
(c) has the wrong name (it should be `ghostview').
(d) says `Conflicts: X11R6'.
The latter is particularly unfortunate, as it will confuse dselect
about which is the `preferred' version of the package. I suggest that
when the ghostviewR6 package is renamed a dummy package with the same
name replaces it which says `Depends: ghostview' rather than
`Conflicts: ghostview'.
Eventually (when most people's status and available files have been
updated) this can be removed.
Ian.
