/usr/bin/sendmail is provided by citadel-mta, courier-mta, dma, esmtp-run, exim4-daemon-heavy, exim4-daemon-light, ... That is what the policy means by same file (but I agree that this wording is a bit misleading), and not the same filename in a different directory - otherwise all packages that provide a copyright file in /usr/share/doc/*/ would have to conflict with each other. > If you read the entire section 7.4 is seems entirely reasonable to > create a package with an executable name that already exists in Debian > with a package conflicts tag if the two executables have different > functionality. But I want to play the boulder dash clone epiphany whilst browsing the web using the epiphany browser!
