Bug#1010879: reportbug: mmh is not co-installable with nmh

Show all headers | View raw

Package: mmh
Version: mmh-0.4.4
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,
I want to use a more modern version of MH but retain the refile command
from nmh because I use the rmmproc functionality.
Attempting to install mmh with apt install mmh says it will remove nmh.
I was hoping the two would be co-installable.  I assume this conflict
occurs because both install executables with the same name in
/usr/bin/mh.  mailutils-mh avoids this conflict by installing
executables in /usr/bin/mu-mh.  Ideally both nmh and mmh would move
to different directories and manage /usr/bin/mh via /etc/alternatives or
similar but if not nmh was there first.

Thanks,
William
