--- Begin Message ---Source: saunafs Version: 5.8.0-1 Usertags: pidof-without-procps Dear maintainer(s) of saunafs, it appears that saunafs 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 saunafs that use `pidof` at runtime; * via the `Build-Depends:` field of saunafs, 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 saunafs, 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 saunafs uses `pidof` due to the following code snippets: ``` path: saunafs_5.1.2-1/tests/tools/ganesha.sh fi rpcbind_pid=$(pidof rpcbind) # Check if rpcbind is running and restart it ``` Feel free to close this issue if this is a false positive (for example if this code is in an unreachable code path).

Eventually, it would be great to have autopkgtests also run these tests, but right now there isn't any at the moment. I'm closing this as a false positive, but I am creating a new issue regarding having autopkgtests for the tests. I'm not sure about whether `pidof` will be needed still, as the tests that requires it tests against `nfs-ganesha` library that is currently not being build in Debian. Best regards, Urmas Rist
