[Daniel Moerner (dmoerner)]

Yes, this bug is confirmed, the original work I did to convert tint to tint2 in Debian has revealed itself to be insufficient. Upstream has already been informed about the name conflict and voluntarily agreed to change the name; I have just asked them if they are about to push a new upstream version. If they do push a new version, then I will just upload that. Otherwise, I will push a manual fix.

[Daniel Moerner (dmoerner)]

I just talked to upstream; they are planning for a new release of tint2 with the name change during the period February 15 to February 28. If there are no objections, I will rebuild the Debian package at that point and then file a sync request.

[Daniel Moerner (dmoerner)]

Upstream is integrating a systray in tint2 0.7.0, so there will be a bit of a delay on the new release.
