--- Begin Message ---Source: gnocchi Version: 4.7.0-4 Usertags: pidof-without-procps Dear maintainer(s) of gnocchi, it appears that gnocchi 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 gnocchi that use `pidof` at runtime; * via the `Build-Depends:` field of gnocchi, 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 gnocchi, 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 gnocchi uses `pidof` due to the following code snippets: ``` path: gnocchi_4.7.0-3/run-upgrade-tests.sh done for PID in $(pidof gnocchi-metricd); do echo "Configuring dump of MetricD process [PID=${PID}] outputs to avoid freeze while processing because the logs are not read from buffer" cat /proc/${PID}/fd/1 >> ${METRICD_LOG_FILE} & path: gnocchi_4.7.0-3/run-upgrade-tests.sh UWSGI_LOG_FILE=/tmp/uwsgi-new-version.log METRICD_LOG_FILE=/tmp/gnocchi-metricd-new-version.log for PID in $(pidof uwsgi); do echo "Configuring dump of uWSGI process [PID=${PID}] outputs to avoid freeze while processing because the logs are not read from buffer" cat /proc/${PID}/fd/1 >> ${UWSGI_LOG_FILE} & ``` Feel free to close this issue if this is a false positive (for example if this code is in an unreachable code path).
