I can see reason for having both packages...
The question is, which of us should rename their pscan?

Mine might make sense as printf-scan.

This sounds good to me, as changing the EMBOSS program would require patching quite a bit of documentation (and user's scripts would break).

Robin:

If you are still on vacation, I can fix it myself if you like.

Robin:

I will need this fixed to stabilise emboss 3.0.0-r1. Are you OK with the proposed fix?

Robin:

Since I got no answer and this is pretty trivial, I decided to fix it myself. I hope this is ok with you.

*whacks bugzilla*
I'm sanely sure I commented on this, but it was around the time that jforman was doing stuff with bugzie.

No objections to pscan being changed, but put a [R]DEP in emboss of:
!<pscan-oldver
To ensure it gets upgraded if it is present.

Done. Thanks for the hint.
