Since renaming seems to be the only solution, than IMO it is more appropriate to rename 'plink' in putty-tools than in the plink packages since this is exactly the source/binary package name. This has been done already in putty-tools for the 'puttygen' binary. Thanks ---- piti:~# dpkg -L putty-tools [snip] /usr/bin/pscp /usr/bin/psftp /usr/bin/plink /usr/bin/puttygen
