Bug Description
[ Impact ]
discodos will fail to install for all users who have "mono-devel" installed on their system.
similarly users who already have "discodos" installed will see failure in installation of "mono-devel".
In both cases the error seen will be either of these two:
dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-
trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/disco', which is also in package discodos 1.0~rc2-2
or
dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-
trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/disco', which is also in package mono-devel 6.8.0.105+dfsg-3.2
[ Test Plan ]
test-1:
1. install mono-devel
2. install discodos
test-2:
1. install discodos
2. install mono-devel
If the package is not fixed it will result in the install failure with the above error.
With the fixed package both packages will be installed.
[ Where problems could occur ]
There is no change in code, but the executable is changing from "/usr/bin/disco" to "/usr/bin/discodos" which can affect if any user is using "disco" in any of their scripts.
[ Other Info ]
This has been already fixed in Debian and Noble/Oracular already has the renamed binary.
As is done in Debian, the manpage is also renamed to discodos.
