[python hat]

Looks like the /usr/bin/html2text script was introduced here:

[sgml hat]

From what I can tell, app-text/html2text is older, so I call dibs on /usr/bin/html2text.

We can just do blockers if you would rather not rename it.

No objections.

If anything better than a conflict could be done, I'd prefer that solution.  If not, we have to hope most people can live with a force choice.

If anyone would like to contact Aaron of dev-python/html2text with a clever idea, his e-mail is up here: https://github.com/aaronsw.

Filed a bug upstream.

Comment 4 Sebastian Pipping gentoo-dev

Some oberservations:

 - Debian users are used to app-text/html2text for /usr/bin/html2text, see [1]
                            ^^^^^^^^
 - None of the two reverse dependencies of dev-python/html2text
                                           ^^^^^^^^^^
   - net-mail/rss2email

   - www-client/weboob

   call the binary (but rather import its Python module)

So how about

  mv /usr/bin/html2text{,.py}

at dev-python/html2text for a solution?
   ^^^^^^^^^^

Just in case I do not hear back in a week, I may dare to go forward.
