> Datastax has begun distributing [1], due to a miscommunication, a debian
> package identical to the one distributed by Apache, but with its package name
> changed to "apache-cassandra1". Datastax now intends to go back to using the
> Apache packages unchanged, but it is going to take some time since we have
> also released a suite of tools, demos, products, and documentation that refer
> to the "apache-cassandra1" name, and it will take some more QA and
> documentation updates before we can make the full transition back. In the
> meantime, though, more people are installing the apache-cassandra1 deb.
> To minimize confusion between the two, and facilitate the transition away
> from apache-cassandra1, I recommend that we add these lines to Cassandra's
> debian/control:
> {noformat}
> Conflicts: apache-cassandra1
> Replaces: apache-cassandra1
> {noformat}
> ..so that users of apache-cassandra1 will be able to install the cassandra
> deb from Apache without losing their configuration or needing to fully
> uninstall one, then install the other. It will also keep users from
> mistakenly trying to install both packages at the same time (it won't work if
> they try; they'll see errors, but they might not make sense).
