WARNING: if you install the zclassic package on Linux, it uninstalls the zcash wallet #114

Super-nasty surprise I had today. I've installed the zclassic wallet on the same system where I have the zcash wallet.

This package uninstalled zcash first, then installed itself. THIS IS VERY BAD!

Please modify the zclassic package so it installs alongside zcash. Also, the names of the executables should not clash between packages.

I had a similar experience with the Windows wallet, but not as bad.

Uninstalling the ZClassic wallet also deletes Zcashes 1GB proving key, and after starting up my ZEC wallet I have to re-download it.

Once the key was downloaded my zcash4win wallet works as normal, but I agree these conflicts between wallets really need to be fixed ASAP IMO

This looks super seriously not good. If no one else is working on this I'll have a go at it.

the same thing goes on in Ethereum vs Ethereum Classic.. what's with "Classic" coins?

Lazy development - not changing the names of the executables (eg zcashd and zcashd for Zcash and Zclassic) - easy fix, change the build file to make zclashd instead (you can do this yourself if making from source). But will need to be merged in to main branch for a package change.
