Bug Description

The newly introduced '/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.FileManager1.service' file is also shipped with nautilus and so creates a conflict.

Confirmed that the new pantheon-files package will not install if nautilus is already installed. Purging nautilus allows Files to install.

According to the specification "Applications are supposed to use the org.freedesktop.FileManager1 DBus name and the /org/freedesktop/FileManager1 object path. The interface name is org.freedesktop.FileManager1." It would appear that only one provider of this service can be installed?

I notice that Dolphin provides the service under the name "org.kde.dolphin.FileManager1" and Firefox recognises this so a similar name for the Files service may be a solution.

On further investigation, it only needs the file to be renamed - the name of the service can stay the same.
