Package: exfatprogs Version: 1.1.2-2 Severity: normal Please coordinate with exfat-utils maintainer and use the alternative system to allow both packages to be installed at the same time, with both of them Providing a virtual package so that reverse dependencies like exfat-fuse and udisks2 can depend on the virtual package if they only use compatible command-line options or only Recommend for human use.
This is the preferred method for dealing with multiple packages that provide different implementations of the same command (see Policy 3.9 Maintainer Scripts). This method has the advantage that if one or both of the would-be conflicting packages have additional functionality not in the other package (e.g. tune.exfat which is in exfatprogs but not in exfat-utils), both can be installed, making the combined functionality available. ...Marvin
