sosreport is fault tolerant to cmd not found situation inside plugins. Note that there is no impact outside the fact that some plugins may not capture information for a given command such as lsof (e.g. process.py, filesys.py, ...) There is over 300 plugins as of today in sosreport and each of them may or may not have distinct command and execution conditions, ... so obviously it wouldn't be trivial to cover all potential scenarios. Additionally, I would not want to have to manage a list of recommended packages, but I do recognize that the command listed in the bug are a must when it comes to troubleshooting/debugging/collecting data/... and can definitely help users & 3rd party vendors support by avoiding extra steps such as installing these packages manually, re-run sosreport or collect the data individually, ... I'm +1 to put in place a 'Recommends' instruction to cover this gap (mount, e2fsprogs, lsof) On Sun, Jan 10, 2021 at 5:05 PM Faidon Liambotis <parav...@debian.org> wrote: > On Sun, Jan 21, 2018 at 08:09:07PM +0100, Louis Bouchard wrote: > > Sorry for the late reply. > > > > sosreport is in fact designed to silently ignore situations where > commands > > issued are not available.
