Name conflict for deb package in Ubuntu #250

Open rgoubet opened 11 months ago

rgoubet commented 11 months ago

The package in the deb file is currently named "tad". This conflicts with another one in the Ubuntu repo.

tad/mantic,mantic 3.1.0+~cs10.23.44-1 all
  Javascript test suite with minimal hassle

As a result, after installing Tad, it gets immediately overwritten by the one on the repository, which has a higher version number, when running apt upgrade.

The package in the deb file should be renamed, e.g., "tad-viewer".

I had this problem too.

As a temporary fix you can rename /opt/Tad to something else and provide a link in /usr/bin .. what I did is:

sudo mv /opt/Tad/ /opt/Tadv/ sudo ln -s /opt/Tadv/tad /usr/bin/tadv

And, if like me you're using XFCE and want to use the menu as well as the cli:

sudo nano /usr/share/applications/tad.desktop and:

sudo mv /usr/share/applications/tad.desktop /usr/share/applications/tadv.desktop

and finally change usr/share/icons/hicolor/XXxXX/apps/tad.png to tadv.png

Following this an apt-upgrade shouldn't overwrite 'tadv' and it will continue to work as before.

Also, for the sake of bringing these together in one place, I note similar issues reported here and here
