Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-games

gnome- games package provides package gnuchess, but doesn't provide gnuchess executable, only
gnome-gnuchess

$ dpkg -s gnome-games |grep Provide
Provides: gnuchess
$
$ dpkg -L gnome-games|grep gnuchess
/usr/games/gnome-gnuchess

This situation causes problems with some packages, which depends on gnuchess - if gnome-games is installed then these packages install fine as gnome- games package provides package gnuchess, but I get runtime error, as there are no gnuchess binary :(

This bug is related to bug ##72070 but isn't a duplicate.

I'm not sure this is a bug. What packages depend on gnuchess? It seems like the problem might be with the dependent packages.

This is a bug. Packages depending on gnuchess expect a binary called gnuchess. Calling the binary gnome-gnuchess should not be considered as providing the dependency.

This package now provides glchess, which is the name of the chess gnome games.
