Bug#789900: RM: nautilus-open-terminal -- ROM; ROM; obsoleted by gnome-terminal

[Fabian Greffrath]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi there,

the nautilus-open-terminal package provides a plugin for Nautilus that
adds an "Open in Terminal" item to the context menu for directories.
However, meanwhile this functionality has been imported directly into
gnome-terminal [1]. Thus, if both nautilus-open-terminal and a recent
gnome-terminal package are installed, the "Open in Terminal" context
menu item will appear twice.

While this is harmless, it renders the nautilus-open-terminal package
obsolete and we think it should be removed from Debian. The maintainer
of the nautilus-open-terminal package agrees with this in #766919 [2].
Appropriate Conflicts and Replaces relations will be added to the
gnome-terminal package in the next upload.

Thank you very much,

Fabian
