<p dir="auto">apm (atom package manager) conflicts with the widely used advanced power management system on Linux. This has been confirmed on both current versions of Ubuntu and Debian.</p>
<p dir="auto">Atom installs "apm" by default into /usr/bin, Advanced Power Management installs its client, also named "apm" into /usr/bin as well.</p>
<p dir="auto">Since this is a widely used system, I would suggest that either the Atom package manager be renamed, or installed into another location so that they do not conflict.</p>
<p dir="auto">Error when installing on a system with "apmd" package installed:</p>
