They aren't identical. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2005-June/msg00782.html There is no dd_rescue in Extras. The owners.list entry is bogus. The ddrescue package in Extras *should* be called dd_rescue, since it is the original dd_rescue renamed. We don't have GNU ddrescue (http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html) packaged for Extras. I volunteered to fix this mess last year, but it looked like Andreas Thienemann was going to take care of it. Unfortunately the pre-bugzilla review requests never went anywhere, so the fix never happened. Apparently everyone involved hasn't had time for it in the post-bugzilla-review-request era. FWIW, my main motivation for fixing all this was to get dd_rhelp (http://www.kalysto.org/utilities/dd_rhelp/index.en.html) in Extras, but I've since decided it is a hopeless mess. Oh, and GNU ddrescue is supposed to do what dd_rhelp + dd_rescue are supposed to do, but it has never worked right for me, so I've just been using dd_rescue, restarting it manually if necessary.
