package: alpine version: 0.82+dfsg-3 severity: normal tags: patch Hi,
and thanks for packaging alpine for Debian! I've seen that alpine-pico conflicts against nano. :( Well, nano is `Priority: important'. I know that it provides a symlink to `/usr/bin/pico' which would be overwritten by alpine. Of course this is not good, but conflicting against an important package is not good either! Imagine: With the nano package installed you have a `nano' binary and a `pico' binary. Sure, both are the same. After you installed alpine-pico, there's the original pico behind `pico', but `nano' has gone away. Feels like you have lost an editor and not only replaced one. The solution is to dpkg-divert against the `pico' binary and manpage. Please find attached a sample `postrm' and `preinst' file that diverge these files. They are from the non-free `pine-duo' package that was part of the debian-unofficial.org archive. Thank you for your effort! Nice greetings, Fabian
