[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#837559: puppet-agent: name collision with official puppet-agent

[tkoeck]

Package: puppet-agent
Version: 1.6.2-1jessie
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
Hi,

there is a name collision problem if the official Puppet Server
installation source is used

https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/latest/reference/install_linux.html#for-apt-based-systems

The package

puppetserver works fine but it then takes as a dependency the puppetagent from Debian because of the higher priority.

I know it's not directly a Debian problem but maybe you can rename the
puppet-agent packages.
