Description:

Currently post_install() echoes the message:

>>> You can not use a DVB stick for both DVB and SDR. There is a driver conflict. /usr/lib/modprobe.d/rtlsdr.conf blacklists the DVB drivers.

The message is not as informative as it should be and can seem like it was echoed due to a detected driver conflict, which is not the case. Also the last sentence has the same issue regarding the blacklist file. There are also double spaces in the message which makes it seem even more so. A clearer and better worded message would be:

>>> RTL-SDR-compatible DVB stick cannot be used for both DVB and SDR at once (driver conflict). This package provides /usr/lib/modprobe.d/rtlsdr.conf to blacklist the DVB drivers."

Additional info:
* package version: 1:0.8.0-5

Despite recent activity, unfortunately it's still orphaned.
