List of renamed binaries in Fedora

This is a list of binaries which are renamed in Fedora to avoid conflicts between packages that provide the same name for their binaries.

These renames are made when upstream does not want / doesn't care to rename the binary, as per Packaging:Conflicts.

Binary name	Package	Renamed binary	Note
Name of conflicting binary	Package which includes the conflicting binary	New name used in Fedora	Notes about upstream rename status and / or how other distro deals with it
/usr/bin/chaos	EMBOSS	em_chaos
/usr/bin/remap	EMBOSS	em_remap
/usr/bin/remap	wcstools	wcsremap	Sent email to upstream asking to rename the binary. No response yet. Debian also renames it 'wcsremap'
