New issue 12 by jstn8878: deb fails silently if youtube-dl is already
present
http://code.google.com/p/sinthgunt/issues/detail?id=12

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have youtube-dl previously installed
2. Try to install the latest deb with gdebi
3. Installation will fail
4. Using Mint 10, but I assume it would happen with any Debian based distro.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expected it to install
Instead it fails because it can't overwrite the previously installed
youtube-dl package

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

2.0.3

Please provide any additional information below.

Of course this is simple to fix, either force the package or remove
youtube-dl before trying to install.
However, this may confuse some people, so maybe you can make Sinthgunt
check for it beforehand and give the user a choice to remove or skip it
rather than failing silently.

Regards,
Justin

Thank you, Justin.

I have moved the file youtube-dl to youtube-dl-sinthgunt. I still installs
to /usr/bin, but it should be possible to have another version of
youtube-dl installed alongside sinthgunt's.

New deb is sinthgunt_2.0.3-2_all.deb, available from the downloads tab.

Kaare
