Hi, If I were the overlord of Debian I'd say that GUI-only commands should not take up any "precious" 3-letter command names, but as I'm not I agree that we need to respect the principle of first-come-first-served. Andreas' fix should work fine for this package, and the only dependent package right now (python-burrito-fillings) only calls alc indirectly via the other programs, so as long as ea-utils calls the renamed version internally everything will work. However, ALC is a potentially handy little tool outside of FASTQ file manipulation - it was originally hosted at http://documentroot.com/alc (dead link??) - so it would be nice to give it a snappy name which can be acceptable in /usr/bin. If we propose this to upstream (Erik Aronesty - CC'd), what is the easiest way for him to check if any given alternative command name is already taken in Debian? I tried a search on packages.debian.org but it doesn't give the right result: https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=%2Fusr% 2Fbin%2Falc&mode=exactfilename&suite=sid&arch=any Cheers, TIM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
