[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#1006754: theli tries to use swarp from suckless-tools instead of SWarp from swarp

[Yann Vernier]

Package: theli
Version: 3.1.3-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I tried installing theli on Debian unstable. Upon running the program,
it immediately reports swarp is the wrong version. Checking the swarp
package, Debian has renamed that program from swarp to SWarp, to avoid
collision with the suckless-tools program named swarp.

I reckon the appropriate thing to do in the Debian package, particularly
as swarp is a dependency, is to make the similar change to call the
correct program in theli as well.

As a workaround, it is possible to make a directory with a lower case
symlink and add it to PATH to run theli, e.g.:

$ mkdir ~/theli-bin
$ ln -s /usr/bin/SWarp ~/theli-bin/swarp
$ PATH=~/theli-bin:$PATH theli &

It is also possible that the program would look for SWarp if swarp were
not present, in which case this is a conflict with suckless-tools.
