Bug Description

Binary package hint: xfce4-terminal

If xfce4-terminal is installed terminal.app does not install properly, because both packages are using /usr/bin/Terminal. Don't know if this is a bug in terminal.app or xfce4-terminal.

Hi,

This is fixed in edgy and feisty. In gutsy, xfce4-terminal doesn't ship /usr/bin/Terminal anymore (renamed to /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal), so this is not necessary to keep the conflict between these two packges.
Thanks.
