Description David Morgan 2005-01-06 06:36:39 UTC
cdtool is supposed to provide /usr/bin/cdplay, but the current ebuild doesn't do this

Adding 
dosym cdtool /usr/bin/cdplay 
to the list of other symlinks creates this, and the symlink functions as expected.

Unfortunately media-sound/cdplay creates an executable with the same location and name (/usr/bin/cdplay, which incidentally doesn't work with cdtool - e.g. cdplay -c ; cdpause isn't the same as the correct behaviour for cdplay ; cdpause produced by the cdplay symlink that cdtool should produce)

So, cdtool and cdplay need to block each other
