Package: rsnapshot Version: 1.4.2-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The dependencies of rsnapshot seem to be out of alignment with the default configuration. rsnapshot's default is to use /usr/bin/logger to log to syslog, however there is no dependency on bsdutils. A file in /etc/logrotate.d/rsnapshot to rotate a log file which will not be created. I believe this is the reason for the dependency on logrotate. I think that the dependency on logrotate should be downgraded to recommends and that there should be a new dependency on bsdutils. Obviously this will depend on the config file in /etc/rsnapshot.conf logging to syslog or not. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-4-rt-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_AU:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages rsnapshot depends on: ii liblchown-perl 1.01-3+b2 ii logrotate 3.11.0-0.1 ii perl 5.24.1-3+deb9u2 ii rsync 3.1.2-1 Versions of packages rsnapshot recommends: ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:7.4p1-10+deb9u1 rsnapshot suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
