Hi, I'm sending this note as per policy 10.1 regarding packages shipping files of the same name with different functionality. I recently packaged dstat[1], and after it was accepted, an RC bug was filed because sleuthkit already provided a (completely unrelated) /usr/bin/dstat (my bad for not checking beforehand). Given that dstat is the name of the upstream software, I think renaming the /usr/bin/dstat provided by the dstat package is a bit suboptimal. I'm wondering if renaming the /usr/bin/dstat in sleuthkit to something else (nothing is immediately jumping to mind, but the description in the manpage is "Display details of a data structure (i.e. block or sector)". To be honest, it's not immediately obvious (to me) why the dstat I've packaged is called dstat (other than the author's name starts with a D), either, so I'll float the idea of renaming it with the upstream author. In the meantime, I've uploaded a new version of dstat that conflicts with sleuthkit. regards Andrew [1] http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/dstat/ -- linux.conf.au 2005 - http://lca2005.linux.org.au/ - Birthplace of Tux April 18th to 23rd - http://lca2005.linux.org.au/ - LINUX Canberra, Australia - http://lca2005.linux.org.au/ - Get bitten!
