** Description changed:
Binary package hint: ddrescue
ddrescue (provided in the package gddrescue) and dd_rescue are different pieces of software.
The package name should reflect which of these applications is installed as the current naming is confusing.
apt-get install ddrescue does not install ddrescue (from gddrescue) but
dd_rescue.
Even dd-rescue would be a better name.
Ideally dd_rhelp
(http://www.kalysto.org/utilities/dd_rhelp/index.en.html) should be
included with dd_rescue.
- maybe ddrescue could be a virtual package which depends on gddrescue,
+ maybe ddrescue could be a meta-package which depends on gddrescue,
dd_rescue and dd_rhelp thus providing a variety of options for
attempting data recovery.
