Description: 'rc' script conflicts with 'rc' shell, provided by packages 9base and plan9port. I marked severity as high because this breaks anything depending on rc scripts, sometimes silently.

The cmus one is the configuration file in /usr/share/cmus so it doesnt harm, its not executable. IMO if possible the 9base and plan9port packages files should have be renamed rc-{9base,plan9port}. Those unlike the rc in initscripts arent installed by everyone. Their files are in /opt and not /sbin so there is no file conflict.

Renaming a shell is not a small deal, regardless of perceived popularity. This is a PATH conflict not a filename conflict. /sbin/rc is new to the game and probably should be the one to yield.
