> Tachyon package name conflict on Debian/Ubuntu
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BIGTOP-1827
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1827
> Project: Bigtop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: debian
> Affects Versions: 0.8.0
> Environment: Debian
> Reporter: Erich Schubert
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 1.1.0

> Debian and Ubuntu already have a package named "tachyon":
> https://packages.debian.org/sid/tachyon
> Parallel/Multiprocessor Ray Tracing Software
> http://jedi.ks.uiuc.edu/~johns/raytracer/
> which has been in Debian since 2008, and apparently was started in 1994.
> Because this package has a higher version number (0.99~b2+dfsg-0.4) it will always take precedence to the Bigtop "tachyon" package, and on upgrades this will cause chaos.
> Maybe the package should be named tachyon-java or apache-tachyon instead to avoid upgrade problems?
