Hi Javier, thanks for your hint! That was my first thoght, I'm upstream developer and DM of ettercap and we already install in sbin some of the binaries. The problem is: This might be highly confusing for the end user, and needs to force the path to both .desktop files (if they provide. them) Thanks to all for your suggestions, I think I'll rename the binary in amap-thc, avoiding this kind of troubles (and maybe also moving in /sbin). I need to prior check how many packages needs it and how they run it, bt seems the most trivial task to do. I'm on smartphone, I'll answer to everybody asap, I would like to avoid top posting. Thanks for clarifying Gianfranco |

Since 'amap' (the scanner) probably needs permission to make raw sockets to work properly (just like nmap) for some scans, why not install it in /usr/sbin/? That way there would be no conflict with the other package. Regards Javier |
