Package: net-tools

Tags: patch
A parallel "make install" invocation can sometimes install programs
first, then backup those programs as *.old files. This randomly
caused duplicate programs to be installed.
This change will only run the backup prior to installing, also
creating backups for updates.

Oh, that's totally wrong :-) I guess at some point it made sense when
upstream was inactive, but now there is a proper upstream, so you should
report there.
I will close this bug now.
