[Desktop-packages] [Bug 833546] Re: iputils-arping conflicts with package arping because of same name

2016-07-05 Thread dino99
Arping & iputils-arping conflict each other; that's it.
Note that latest arping's update was in 2014/10 and should have been removed 
from the archive, as per the Debian solution found to resolve such issue:


an old question/answer some years ago (by the arping dev):

In the past there were some attempts to include arping into the Fedora
Package Collection. At the moment there is an issue with the name.
iputils contains a tool that is called arping and this ends with a name
conflict.

The suggestion was to rename your arping to arping-ng for the package name. 
Have you ever thought about renaming your tool or are there any objections 
about renaming it from your side? From my point of view it would be the best 
way to make the name change upstream to avoid confusion the users.

Debian solved this by creating a new package called iputils-arping that 
contains that arping and have this arping be in the package "arping". I will 
not rename Arping since this is just a minor issue on Linux. I have no problem 
with it being named something else in Fedora, except several other OSs have 
*this* program with the name "arping", so it could cause more confusion than 
already exists.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 833546] Re: iputils-arping conflicts with package arping because of same name

2016-07-05 Thread mdrescher
Ran just into it myself: This is really a serous issue as it completely
breaks the IP network. An unexperienced user is getting doomed here.

I suggest, you just remove all the rdepends from the arping package.
This will prevent uninstalling the iputils package with all its
dependencies. As arping's binary installs in /usr/sbin/, iputil's arping
will not be harmed, both will live together peacefully.

2016-01-21 Thread SB Technical Services
dino99,

A new version is no reason to close this bug, it still exists even for
the new version of the package (as far as I can see)

Also closing it as Invalid is not the correct course of action either,
the bug was and still is a Valid bug.

Reopening.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 833546] Re: iputils-arping conflicts with package arping because of same name

2015-11-17 Thread SB Technical Services

Title:
  iputils-arping conflicts with package arping because of same name

Status in arping package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in iputils package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I need to scan for an ip address based on MAC address and wanted to
  use the utility arping.

  Unfortunatly there are TWO different versions of the program with the
  exact same name. arping has dependancies with network-manager network-
  manager-gnome and ubuntu-desktop making the package arping impossible
  to install as iputils-arping is default. And iputils-arping doesn't
  have the option to use a MAC address to arp to receive the IP address.

  This discussion (from 2005) sums it up in the end as well. (why does this 
issue still exist?)
  
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/how-to-find-ip-address-of-a-machine-if-i-know-their-mac-address-353239/

  What procedure needs to be followed in order to get one of the
  programmers to rename their program, or to repackage the ubuntu
  package arping so that it creates  /usr/bin/arpingmac or something
  similar instead of the naming conflict?
