Source: nautilus
Version: 3.30.5-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

this is a “preemptive” bug about a future file conflict. Latest Thunar
upstream version (1.8.3) gained support for the
org.freedesktop.FileManager1 DBus name
(https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12414). 

This is a generic Freedesktop name which is supposed to be used to open
the file manager of the current desktop.

Until now, Nautilus was the only package providing this, but now we have
a problem. First is obviously a file conflict if I upload Thunar 1.8.3-1
as-is, the second beeing a conflict on the service name itself, even if
I (for example) rename the file.

It's not the first time we have issues like this, generic DBus names
aren't really practical for distributions. I'm open to sugestions on how
to handle this.

Regards,
