--- Begin Message ---Source: qt6-virtualkeyboard Version: 6.10.2+dfsg-2 Usertags: pidof-without-procps Dear maintainer(s) of qt6-virtualkeyboard, it appears that qt6-virtualkeyboard uses `pidof` in its testsuite, or that at least one of its binary packages uses `pidof` at runtime. Historically, `pidof` was provided by the Essential package `sysvinit-tools`, making an explicit dependency unnecessary. However `pidof` will soon be moved to `procps` and will no longer be part of the Essential set. Please add an explicit dependency on `procps`: * via the `Depends:` field of all binary packages of qt6-virtualkeyboard that use `pidof` at runtime; * via the `Build-Depends:` field of qt6-virtualkeyboard, if `pidof` is used in tests run at build-time; * via the `Depends:` field of `debian/control/tests`, if `pidof` is used in autopkgtests. To prevent any disruption for users of qt6-virtualkeyboard, please add this dependency now, before `pidof` is moved from `sysvinit-utils` to `procps`. Alternatively, you could remove all uses of `pidof`. It is believed that qt6-virtualkeyboard uses `pidof` due to the following code snippets: ``` path: qt6-virtualkeyboard_6.9.2+dfsg-3/tests/manual/x11vkbwrapper/handleatspievents.cpp /** Check that At-spi is running */ if (KProsessIsRunning != system(QString("pidof -x %1 > /dev/null").arg(KAtspiBusLauncher).toLatin1().data()) || KProsessIsRunning != system(QString("pidof -x %1 > /dev/null").arg(KAtspiRegistryd).toLatin1().data())) { qWarning() << "One or both of the At-Spi related processes are not running."; return false; ``` Feel free to close this issue if this is a false positive (for example if this code is in an unreachable code path). Regards, -- Gioele Barabucci
