Package: httpie Version: 3.2.1-1 Severity: serious Dear Maintainer,
httpie makes a request to packages.httpie.io every time you start it. It does this presumably to check for a newer version, which is irrelevant in debian. It also smells like a policy violation, though I didn't find an exact paragraph that covers this. This can be seen in the source code here: https://sources.debian.org/src/httpie/3.2.1-1/httpie/internal/update_warnings.py/?hl=16#L16 Upstream has some documentation here: https://httpie.io/docs/cli/update-warnings Please remove this update check, not only is it irrelevant in debian, but it also causes a mess in logs due to unintended DNS requests. thanks -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-10-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU thread; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages httpie depends on: ii python3 3.11.2-1+b1 ii python3-charset-normalizer 3.0.1-2 ii python3-defusedxml 0.7.1-2 ii python3-multidict 6.0.4-1+b1 ii python3-pip 23.0.1+dfsg-1 ii python3-pkg-resources 66.1.1-1 ii python3-pygments 2.14.0+dfsg-1 ii python3-requests 2.28.1+dfsg-1 ii python3-requests-toolbelt 0.10.1-1 ii python3-rich 13.3.1-1 ii python3-socks 1.7.1+dfsg-1 httpie recommends no packages. httpie suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
