  • Bug#1094947: inxi: not installable due to missing dnsutils

    From Eriberto Mota@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 24 18:20:01 2025
    Package: inxi
    Version: 3.3.37-1-1
    Severity: serious

    Your package depends on "dnsutils", which is not available anymore.
    Please switch to "bind9-dnsutils".

    Hi Chris,

    The inxi only recommends the dnsutils, not depending on it. What do you
    think about lowering the severity to important?

    This bug is affecting the forensics-extra package.

    Regards,

    AFAIK this is still forbidden.

    This bug is affecting the forensics-extra package.

    Why not fix the bug?

    Recommends field will not install an uninstallable package and it won't
    break the inxi install. You say "inxi: not installable due to missing dnsutils", but it is not occurring since Recommends will ignore the
    dnsutils.


    This bug is affecting the forensics-extra package.

    Because Unit 193 is an active DD and making an NMU against a bug not
    serious is a bit unnecessary/aggressive.

    Thanks for your attention.

    Cheers,

    Eriberto
