Conflicts wth package terminal.app

Yes the Terminal symlink has recently been restored as that is what upstream calls it's binary. Apparently it's a popular name :(. Besides the package you mention there's also the package terminal which provides the same, and which is already correctly conflicted by xfce4-terminal.
As much as I don't like this generic name I'd prefer keeping it since other xfce apps can rely on it being called that and it's too much hassle patching them each time a new reference is introduced.
Would you be happy with it conflicting terminal.app? It would mean they cannot be installed in the same time of course.

In other words, one has to can't have both terminal.app and face installed at that's all there is to it?

<sarcasm> But having gnome-terminal, konsole, xterm, wterm, aterm, eterm, rxvt installed simultaneously is fine? </sarcasm>

I wish you'd reconsider. After all Ubuntu has no qualms about *completely* messing with Mozilla Thunderbird (which has 3 different names in Ubuntu Dapper, depending on where you look) and Mozilla Firefox (so far, just two names).

So renaming a simple symlink seems minor by comparison. Not to mention (last I checked) All of XFCE is Open Source (GPL).....

Next stop. Upstream.....

I forgot to answer your question. No I would not be happy with it conflicting with terminal.app. If I didn't mind, you'd have not seen this bug report.....

I guess I'll live with it though. What choice do I have? ;-)

This has to do with the fact that both (all 3?) upstreams have named their application the same thing. It is too much effort and not the appropriate place IMHO to sanitize this situation in ubuntu. Sorry, I see no cleaner solution than these packages conflicting each other.
