Package: debian-security-support
Version: 2019.12.12~deb10u1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Two things:
1. I have installed binutils, which is Build-Essential and has limited
security support (#948634).
2. I use «chronic -e sh -c 'check-support-status >&2'» to check whether
any packages with limited security support are installed.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Every time I run the command from (2), it exits non-zero, because
binutils is installed.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I'd like to be to have a way to run, say, «check-support-status
--dont-complain-about=binutils,binutils-common,libbinutils,binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu».
This command would skip the binary packages given on the command line
when looking for and listing installed binary packages with limited
support status. Thus, in effect, it would let the admin "whitelist"
known issues, so only new ones would be printed.
Would this make sense?
Cheers,
Daniel
