'Conflicts: secure-su' would work great, as fileutils is 'Essential: yes' we should thus just pull secure-su from debian, as its not going to be installed on ANY debian system.. Renaming the binary to gnu-su and using alternatives to select what gets run when you run su would be more reasonable.. > > > Let me remind you that what's breaking is a ESSENTIAL package!!! > > How about a gnu-su package instead of including it into fileutils? That would work, the bug can be closed as soon as thats straightened out, and not before... I don't really care how its fixed, as long as its fixed well, and everything works..
