Re: [Debian-med-packaging] Bug#503367: plink: file conflict with putty-tools

Hello, plink has just made it to the archive. Teodor happened to have nicely explained my objections to rename plink. Dear Colin, if you don't mind too much, or if you could be bribed with a few beers, please be so kind to rename the plink binary package. Many thanks and best regards, Steffen
