putty conflicts prrte
Description:
putty currently conflicts with prrte, even though they have nothing in common. The only thing conflicting is that one of the binaries provided by putty (pterm) has the same name as another binary provided by prrte. I think it's kinda silly that both packages conflict because of something as simple as the name of one of their binaries.
Additional info:
- package version(s): prrte 3.0.3, putty 0.80-1
- config and/or log files:
- link to upstream bug report, if any: Initially reported prrte#1 (closed)
Steps to reproduce:
- Install putty
- Install openmpi (or prrte)
- Conflict arises
I made a suggestion here: prrte#1 (comment 161029) to break up putty into its constituents; In this way, the conflict can just be between pterm from putty and prrte.
At this moment, no package currently depends on putty, so it's not too late to introduce such a change. I don't mind making the necessary changes to the PKGBUILD, just let me know what if this will work, and what is required.
