New sqlite scrub tool conflicts with popular scrub file overwriting tool
Description:
7a727e6c introduces the file /usr/bin/scrub
to the sqlite package.
This conflicts with the /usr/bin/scrub
from the pretty popular scrub utility to overwrite files,
which is for example in AUR as https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/scrub .
I know the AUR does not matter to repo packaging, but in this case I think many existing scripts and programs expect
/usr/bin/scrub
to behave like the scrub utility for file overwriting, not the sqlite tool.
This could lead to surprises.
I'd propose to rename the sqlite scrub to /usr/bin/sqlite3_scrub
as some other sqlite tools are already named such.
Additional info:
- package version(s):
sqlite 3.48.0-1 scrub 2.6.1-1
Steps to reproduce:
- Have scrub (file overwriting tool) installed (I had it because of qt-virt-manager)
- pacman -Syu
-
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) sqlite: /usr/bin/scrub exists in filesystem (owned by scrub) Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Notes
I do not care much about this, personally. I can live without scrub or qt-virt-manager. I just thought the sqlite packagers should be aware of this.
