Package: forensics-all
Version: 1.6
Severity: important
Hi,
the new forensics-all metapackage at version 1.6 pulls in
grr-server. grr-server is the server side of an incident response
framework. It is surely not meant for what forensics-all is meant
according to the package description:
> This package provides the core components for a forensics
> environment. […] This metapackage includes the most programs to data
> recovery, rootkit and exploit search, filesystems and memory
> analysis, image acquisition, volume inspection, special actions over
> the hardware and many other activities. […] This package is useful
> for pentesters, ethical hackers and forensics experts.
From my point of view, grr-server is surely wrong in this metapackage,
not only because of its purpose but also because such a metapackage
should never hard-depend on any packages which start daemons or server
software.
Please either move the dependency on grr-server to one of the other
(maybe more fitting) forensic metapackages or at least downgrade the
dependency to a "Recommends" if not "Suggests".
Setting the severity to "important" as this makes this metapackage
more or less unusable, at least IMHO. (Feel free to downgrade if you
disagree.)
