Bug Description
Binary package hint: util-linux
Hello,
I recently migrated my system from another Linux distribution (Gentoo) and noticed, that the rename-tool behaves differently. I tried to change the rename tool using "sudo update-alternatives --config rename" but was unsuccessful with the message that there were no alternatives to select.
After a quick research on the net I found the following article: https:/
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/rename rename /usr/bin/rename.ul 50 --slave /usr/share/
After this I was able to use the util-linux based rename.
Is it possible to enable this selection by default, e.g. using a post-install trigger for util-linux or prename? Or are there other considerations for not including the standard rename?
Yours sincerely,
Ingo
