Subject: util-linux and perl rename
Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2018 22:10:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <557fa862-5ec2-656a-9f4d-15f1a46f42dd@freenet.de> (raw)
Hi Guix!
I already had a "rename" binary via util-linux. Then I installed the
package "rename", resulting in another "rename" binary, as I prefer the
Perl version. This was a success in that I got what I wanted.
However, should this name clash be considered a bug?
Is there a policy for such circumstances?
What happens that the newly installed "rename" gets precedence?
The best info I found on the rename vs rename issue in general:
