Bug#623737: Allow install mplayer2 and mplayer together.

Fri Apr 22 15:13:48 UTC 2011

Subject: Allow install mplayer2 and mplayer together.
Package: mplayer2
Version: 2.0-54-gd33877a-1
Severity: normal

mplayer2 should not be renamed or provide a symlink "mplayer" because they
are different applications from different projects (and both projects are
still alive).

Both packages can be installed and run in the same system with no problems
using different paths and names:

/usr/bin/mplayer2
/usr/share/man/man1/mplayer2.1.gz
/etc/mplayer2/...
/usr/share/mplayer2/...
/usr/share/doc/mplayer2/...

and so on.

Regards.
