One of the binaries have to be renamed. Maybe iproute's ifstat, because that came later? Let's discuss and decide on it... Hi Boian, thanks for reaching out to me. Do we have any kind of statistics on the usage of the two rpms? My concern here is that most of the people may be accustomed to the version of ifstat provided with iproute, and dropping that can result in many complaints... As far as I know, this bug happens because of unification of /usr/bin and /bin. In the pass, iproute will put on /bin/ifstat, and ifstat will put on /usr/bin/ifstat. About statistics of the usage of those two rpms. If we base on that, iproute rpm is the absolute winner, because iproute rpm is always installed on fresh install. So we can not rely on that statistics. For my day to day, i never use iproute's ifstat, so if it would be on me, I prefer the ifstat package win the name, and it also align with Boian's idea. But I understand with Andrea worry. I would accept any maintainer's decission, as long as I can use ifstat package again. OK, thanks for making that clear - my impression was that iproute introduced the ifstat binary recently. Based on usage, renaming ifstat's binary is better, because that will upset less users. But I do not see an obvious new name. Does /usr/bin/ifstat-ifstat sound good? Or maybe ifstat-gael or ifstat-roualland (based on name of ifstat's creator), but ifstat-ifstat is good too. FEDORA-2025-9349b8e0f6 (ifstat-1.1-48.fc43) has been submitted as an update to Fedora 43. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-9349b8e0f6 FEDORA-2025-41b6d43f69 (ifstat-1.1-48.fc42) has been submitted as an update to Fedora 42. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-41b6d43f69 FEDORA-2025-ac77ebb7ce (ifstat-1.1-48.fc41) has been submitted as an update to Fedora 41. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-ac77ebb7ce It feels that ifstat-ifstat is the least confusing... The update is already in rawhide and I pushed the change in the stable branches, should be ready in several of days. Tested
