Shipping the fork as "nemo" 1.0.x made apt treat the distribution's nemo 6.6.3+zena as an upgrade: every Mint update reverted the fork to the stock nemo, and installing the fork again deleted nemo-fileroller, which apt then reinstalled together with the stock nemo (the ping-pong in dpkg.log). The Replaces-only takeover also left nemo-data / libnemo-extension1 / gir1.2-nemo-3.0 installed with empty file lists, which removed org.nemo.gschema.xml and libnemo-extension.so.1 from the system and broke nemo itself. - version the package in the 7.x line, above any nemo version the distributions ship (6.6.x today, 6.8.x later) - declare versioned Provides (nemo, nemo-data, libnemo-extension1, gir1.2-nemo-3.0, libnemo-extension-dev) plus Replaces and Breaks of their older versions, and Conflicts with nemo-dbg / cinnamon-dbg, whose "nemo (= 6.6.3+zena)" pin can never be satisfied by a provider - stop bundling nemo-fileroller: this build ships the same libnemo-extension.so.1 ABI (5), so the distro package works as-is and is a plain Depends; bundling made both packages own the same file in extensions-3.0/ - rename the executable to /usr/bin/nemo-with-column-view with a /usr/bin/nemo compatibility symlink, and show the launcher as "Nemo with Column View" - keep the shared on-disk identity on purpose (nemo.desktop launcher id, org.nemo.* GSettings schemas, Nemo-3.0 GIR, org.Nemo D-Bus name, libnemo-extension.so.1, /usr/share/nemo, .nemo_action) so cinnamon-settings (cs_desktop.py, Spices.py, ExtensionCore.py), session defaults and nemo extensions keep working
mintinstall stops with "Error: Conflicts with the installed package nemo-dbg / cinnamon-dbg" because the graphical installer cannot resolve conflicts. The conflict itself is intentional (the debug packages pin nemo to the exact distribution version, which a provider can never satisfy); the terminal command resolves it in one transaction. Warning added to the release notes template and the README.
