sra-toolkit for Debian
----------------------

There is a name conflict of the executable kget with the kget download
manager.  So in Debian the executable is renamed to sra-kget.  Upstream
was recommended to change the name in
   https://github.com/ncbi/sra-tools/issues/55

Upstream is aware of this issue and will rename to vdb-get.

For the moment the Debian Med team deals with situation usually the following way:

  1. The kget executable belonging to sra-toolkit is renamed to
        /usr/bin/vdb-get
     and can be used as this or users can use
  2. symlink with the original name in
        /usr/lib/debian-med/bin/kget

If you want to use sra-toolkit's kget right from the command line just set
the PATH variable like

  export PATH=/usr/lib/debian-med/bin:$PATH

If a user creates a file

    ${HOME}/.blends

with the content

# Add Blend names here which should prepend its bin dir to PATH
debian-med

the med-config package automatically adds this PATH to the users
environment (when using bash).
