Debian FTP Masters <[email protected]> writes:* Make epub-utils conflict with ncbi-entrez-direct, as both ship the einfo executable & manpage.I appreciate the thought, but ncbi-entrez-direct goes out of its way to avoid any such conflict: it diverts epub-utils' instances of those files, substituting a wrapper script that takes advantage of major command-line syntax differences to determine which tool the user presumably meant to run (and a manpage that notes the diversion). AFAICT, this arrangement works fine; have you found otherwise? FTR, there's a similar situation around efetch, where both executables come from biology-related packages where a conflict would be more of a problem: acedb-other and ncbi-entrez-direct (with the latter taking care of deconflicting in the same fashion).
acedb-other shall step behind anything that is offered from the NCBI realm, I suggest. Many thanks! Steffen
