name conflict of tad-Package in Ubuntu kinetic universe Repo

Open luerhard opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Hi there, I just installed the new version of Tad on my Kubuntu 22.10 (kinetic) system using the .deb-installer. There seems to be another package in one of the official Ubuntu repositories with the same name. It describes itself as a "Javascript test suite with minimal hassle." It currently has a version number of 3.1.0, which is higher than 0.11.0 of the Tad CSV viewer.

Therefore, apt auto-updates the "tad" Javascript test suite over the "tad" CSV-viewer every time I run apt. I managed to

  1. manually unpack the provided .deb-file
  2. change the name of the Debian package to tad-csv
  3. repackage and install again

to circumvent the name collision, but this is a hassle that everyone has to do every time a new version is released here.

I would like to suggest changing the package name here to something like "tad-csv".
