Everybody have a good new year?
I've just got a bug report from Debian that both ganglia and
"Firebird", an Interbase-based database engine provide a binary
located at /usr/bin/gstat.
I figure there's a few solutions:
1) We rename gstat to something else (gangliastat? gstatus?)
2) We get Firebird to rename gstat
3) I rename gstat for purposes of Debian packages
4) Place gstat in Debian in a different location, (not /usr/bin)
5) The Debian Firebird maintainer and I make ganglia and firebird
conflict, so they both can't be installed at the same time.
3, 4, and 5 are less than optimal solutions. Debian packages not
behaving like non-debian ones isn't good, and it seems arbitrary to
make a database engine and ganglia conflict for no good reason.
Ideas?
