"or its name is not atomicparsley which would be stupid." Not all executables have all lower case names. Some software authors prefer to give their executables the same mixed case name as the "project name", Xorg as in /usr/bin/Xorg perhaps being the most used binary with an uppercase name. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1597933 Title: Atomicparsley package completely broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/atomicparsley/+bug/1597933/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

NOT a bug but a misunderstanding. The original report is in error concerning the name of the executable.
