Two 'dict' Commands?

Support Software & Applications
1

I noticed that installing the ‘dict’ package gives a command-line dictionary that’s different than the traditional dict. To get the traditional dict, I had to uninstall dict and install dictd (which installs the daemon and the dict command).

It may be just me, but this seems like it could be confusing. I’m wondering if the name of the current ‘dict’ package could be changed to something else, or am I being unreasonable?

They are two different programs. dict is from the AUR, you could take it up to them to ask for a rename. (Politely in the comment section first.)
