Title:
Package name misleading
To manage notifications about this bug go to:
As a note, in Gentoo they don't use underscores in package names, but
they do use dashes. Therefore, the executable dd_rescue is packaged
under dd-rescue and executable ddrescue is packaged under it's own name.

If you look here
https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/gddrescue it says that
ggdrescue only installs a binary package called gddrescue.

Those are just the binary packages name, not the actual name of the

So now we need to turn this bugreport into a removal request for
ddrescue I presume.
How do you know the actual name of the binary it creates without
installing it?

** Description changed:
Binary package hint: ddrescue
ddrescue (provided in the package gddrescue) and dd_rescue are different
pieces of software.
The package name should reflect which of these applications is installed as
the current naming is confusing.
apt-get install ddrescue
So would I be right in thinking that
1. There is a source package called ddrescue, which is in fact dd_rescue
2. ddrescue is a binary package installed be the source package gddrescue
?

Had a chat on IRC, and gddrescue only installs a binary package called
gddrescue, so there should be no conflicts. If you feel that this bug is
still a problem, then please reopen it and state why you believe that to

See my previous comment. Basically, gddrescue is called gddrescue, and
ddrescue is known as ddrescue or dd_rescue. I may have got the wrong end
of the stick here, and if I have please could you explain to me why the
problem still persists for you.

Package name misleading
gddrescue installs a binary called ddrescue
ddrescue installs dd_rescue
gddrescue combines both dd_rescue and dd_rhelp into one program
ddrescue is no longer active
gddrescue deprecates ddrescue and I believe it's time to drop ddrescue
from the repos.
This naming scheme seems like a problem to
I've just been looking around to see what's going on with this confusing
naming scheme, and I've found this:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/ddrescue. Here it says the package is
called ddrescue, but then the description starts off with dd_rescue.
Also, I've tried to find a package in ubuntu
maybe ddrescue could be a virtual package which depends on gddrescue,
dd_rescue and dd_rhelp thus providing a variety of options for
attempting data recovery.
I think that would make it even more confusing. Even the creator of
dd_rescue and dd_rhelp recommends using GNU ddrescue as a
The author of dd_rhelp:
I really encourage you to use this replacement tool if it works for you
(and it should be the case). ... It could be some cases where [Gnu]
ddrescue won't work, and this is the major reason why I keep maintaining
dd_rhelp.

Unfortunately there are 2 different ddrescue packages in Debian. One is
dd_rescue from http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/ddrescue/ and the other
is ddrescue from http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html.
Neither of these homepages are described in their packages which was
even more
actually the homepages are in the copyright files in their package, srry
:/

This bug affected me as well. I couldn't find the real ddrescue,
until I looked better. I thoughed gddrescue was a gnome utility for
ddrescue, because of the name. Guess standard names makes you lazy. ;-)
I would like if this is solved as well, the way the reporter mentioned.
