similar

  Reporter:  guest          |        Owner:         
      Type:  defect         |       Status:  new    
  Priority:  normal         |    Milestone:         
 Component:  Cabal library  |      Version:  1.2.3.0
  Severity:  normal         |     Keywords:         
Difficulty:  normal         |   Ghcversion:  6.8.2  
  Platform:                 |  
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 Some libraries (example, haskore), provide an executable called 'test' or
 'Test' or other similarly named private test programs. These are however
 installed onto the users system, or prevented from doing so, as they
 conflict with /usr/bin/test

 uploading should prevent and warn if people use unix builtin names as
 executables, particularly 'test'.
