One comment on this: I think it is just too simple here to just add a
"Conflicts" here. Did you investigate the other optione?

* Try to convince glue-sprite to change their Python package name. This
could work since their package seem to be used just internally.

* Try to convince glueviz upstream to change their package name (to
glueviz?)

Having two packages with the same name is at least very unfortunate.

Best regards

Ole



Hi Ole,

I based my decision on the section 7.4 of the Debian policy[1],
Ask upstream to change the name of the module seems to me that is not an
option since the python module
its named like this and this can break software that already depends on it
and is distributed by other source in example
Pypi.

I haven't contact the glue-sprite maintainer, which seems to me a better
option, but it will depend on him.

I believe this is a good workaround, not the best of course, but this will
avoid the breakage of the other package
meanwhile we found a better solution.

Best regards
