Am I understanding you correctly that you mean it violate the "Two different packages must not install programs with different functionality but with the same filenames" statement of policy 10.1? It is not obvious to me that this applies to two packages, one with /usr/bin/arcstat and another with /usr/sbin/arcstat. What make you sure it violate policy? In any case, I guess one way to avoid two binaries in $PATH with the same name is to move one of them out of $PATH, for example by moving the zfs binary to /usr/lib/zfs/arcstat. Another way would be to rename it to /usr/bin/zfs-arcstat. Both approaches would make the Debian location incompatible with ZFS on other platforms. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen

While you may move arcstat back to sbin, doing so does not address or fix this bug. The arcstat command is still being provided (albeit in a different place) and hence policy is still being violated. If you want to migrate a zfs-linux upload to testing, you may adjust the found version to clarify that it already affects trixie and also periodically update this bug to prevent the autoremover from taking action. > We will keep working on this and try to ask for more advice from both users > and developers. Yes, please. Helmut

Given that zfs-linux was first uploaded to Debian in 2016, it seems quite clear to me that the command reasonably belongs to nordugrid. Do we all agree to reassign the bug back to zfs-linux and have it release the name? If not, please discuss with debian-de...@lists.debian.org. Given that this issue is quite old and that forky is still quite in progress, I don't see any reason to rush any action right now. Having a civilized discussion and consensus on a long-term solution should be focus from my point of view. Helmut

NorduGrid ARC has used the name arcstat since release 1.0. It has been in Debian since January 2010 (source package nordugrid-arc-nox, later renamed nordugrid-arc in May 2011). The command is part of a set of commands, all using the arc prefix: arccat arcget arckillarcproxy arcresume arcsync arcclean arcls arcrename arcrm arctest arccp arched arcmkdir arcrenew arcstat arcctl arcinfoarcplugin arcresub arcsub Mattias Ellert signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
