Package: forensics-extra Version: 2.29 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
'forensics-extra' currently has a hard dependency on 'exfatprogs'. 'exfatprogs' provides tools to work with exfat filesystems, but it is only one of (at least) two implementations. the alternative implementation is packaged in 'exfat-utils'. Since both 'exfatprogs' and 'exfat-utils' obviously provide the same files, they "Conflict" with each other. For unrelated reasons i need the 'exfat-utils' installed on my system. due to the "Conflicts" this means, i cannot update 'forensics-extra' anymore, which i find a pity. since 'forensics-extra' is practically a convenience package to pull in a plethora of forensics packages, i don't see a reason to impose such hard restrictions on my system. i would suggest to make 'forensics-extra' a bit more forgiving when it comes to dependencies. either by implementing one or all of the following: - using (soft) "Recommends" instead of (hard) "Depends" for dependencies (e.g. the various *-task packages never use Depends, only Recommends) - allowing either of the two conflicting packages to satisfy the dependency (using "exfatprogs | exfat-utils" as a dependency) cheers. -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'oldstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.15.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages forensics-extra depends on: ii ancient 1.0-2 ii arc 5.21q-8 ii bfbtester 2.0.1-7.1+b2 ii bind9-dnsutils 1:9.17.20-3 ii binutils 2.37-10 ii brotli 1.0.9-2+b3 ii bruteforce-luks 1.3.1-1+b1 ii bzip2 1.0.8-4 ii cabextract 1.9-3 ii chntpw 1.0-1.1 ii clzip 1.12-3 ii comprez 2.7.3-2 ii crunch 3.6-3 ii cryptmount 5.3.3-1 ii curl 7.79.1-2 ii dact 0.8.42-5 ii dares 0.6.5+repack-2+b1 ii dcfldd 1.7.1-1 ii ddrutility 2.8-3 ii dhcpdump 1.8-2.2+b1 ii dictconv 0.2-7+b2 ii diffstat 1.64-1 ii disktype 9-11 ii dmitry 1.3a-1.1 ii dtach 0.9-5+b1 ii erofs-utils 1.4-1 ii ethstatus 0.4.9+b1 ii ethtool 1:5.15-1 ii exfat-fuse 1.3.0-2 ii exfat-utils 1.3.0-2 ii exif 0.6.22-2 ii exiftags 1.01-7 ii exiv2 0.27.3-3.1 ii fatcat 1.0.5-1+b1 ii fdupes 1:2.1.2-1 ii foremost 1.5.7-11+b1 ii funcoeszz 21.1-1 ii gddrescue 1.23-2+b1 ii gdisk 1.0.8-3 ii geoip-bin 1.6.12-8 ii gifshuffle 2.0-1+b1 ii hcxdumptool 6.2.4-1 ii heartbleeder 0.1.1-9+b5 ii hexcompare 1.0.4-1+b1 ii hexedit 1.5-5 ii horst 5.1-2 ii hping3 3.a2.ds2-10 ii hwinfo 21.72-1 ii imageindex 1.1-4 ii inxi 3.3.07-1-1 ii ipgrab 0.9.10-4 ii ipv6toolkit 2.0+ds.1-1 ii jdupes 1.20.2-1 ii less 551-2 ii libimage-exiftool-perl 12.36+dfsg-1 ii lltdscan 0+20180223-1 ii lrzip 0.641-1 ii lshw 02.19.git.2021.06.19.996aaad9c7-2 ii lynis 3.0.6-1 ii lz4 1.9.3-2 ii lzop 1.04-2 ii mblaze 1.1-1 ii mboxgrep 0.7.9-5 ii mc 3:4.8.27-1 ii mdns-scan 0.5-5+b1 ii membernator 1.1.0-3 ii memstat 1.1+b1 ii minizip 1.1-8+b1 ii mpack 1.6-18 ii mscompress 0.4-9 ii nasm 2.15.05-1 ii nast 0.2.0-9 ii ncompress 4.2.4.6-5 ii netcat-openbsd 1.218-2 ii netdiscover 0.8.1-2 ii ngrep 1.47+ds1-5 ii nomarch 1.4-4 ii nstreams 1.0.4-1+b1 ii ntfs-3g 1:2021.8.22-3 ii nwipe 0.31-1+b1 ii openpace 1.1.0+ds-1+b1 ii p7zip-full 16.02+dfsg-8 ii packit 1.8-1 ii parted 3.4-1 ii pcapfix 1.1.7-1 ii pcaputils 0.8-1+b2 ii pdfcrack 0.19-2 ii pecomato 0.0.15-11 ii pev 0.81-6 ii plzip 1.9-2 ii pngcheck 3.0.2-2 ii poppler-utils 20.09.0-3.1 ii psrip 1.3-10 ii rarcrack 0.2-1+b1 ii reaver 1.6.5-1+b1 ii rzip 2.1-4.1 ii sipcrack 0.2-4 ii sipgrep 2.1.0-2+b1 ii sipvicious 0.3.0-2 ii smb-nat 1:1.0-6+b1 ii sngrep 1.4.10-1 ii squashfs-tools-ng 1.1.3-2 ii ssh-audit 2.5.0-1 ii stepic 0.5.0-1 ii sxiv 26-1 ii tcpdump 4.99.1-3 ii tcpflow 1.6.1-2 ii tcpreplay 4.3.4-1 ii tcptrace 6.6.7-6+b1 ii tcpxtract 1.0.1-16 ii telnet 0.17-44 ii testdisk 7.1-5+b2 ii tshark 3.6.0-1 ii ugrep 3.3.9+dfsg-1 ii unar 1.10.1-2+b6 ii uni2ascii 4.18-5 ii unzip 6.0-26 ii wamerican 2020.12.07-1 ii wamerican-huge 2020.12.07-1 ii wamerican-insane 2020.12.07-1 ii wamerican-large 2020.12.07-1 ii wamerican-small 2020.12.07-1 ii wbrazilian 3.0~beta4-23 ii wbritish 2020.12.07-1 ii wbritish-huge 2020.12.07-1 ii wbritish-insane 2020.12.07-1 ii wbritish-large 2020.12.07-1 ii wbritish-small 2020.12.07-1 ii wbulgarian 4.1-7 ii wcanadian 2020.12.07-1 ii wcanadian-huge 2020.12.07-1 ii wcanadian-insane 2020.12.07-1 ii wcanadian-large 2020.12.07-1 ii wcanadian-small 2020.12.07-1 ii wcatalan 0.20111230b-14 ii weplab 0.1.5-6 ii wesperanto 2.1.2000.02.25-60 ii wfaroese 0.4.2+repack1-3 ii wfrench 1.2.6-1 ii wgaelic 0.50-13.1 ii wgerman-medical 20160103-5 ii whatweb 0.5.5-1 ii whois 5.5.10 ii wirish 2.0-27.1 ii witalian 1.10 ii wmanx 0.50-16.1 ii wngerman 20161207-9 ii wpolish 20210105-1 ii wportuguese 20210922-1 ii wspanish 1.0.29 ii wswedish 1.4.5-2.3 ii wswiss 20161207-9 ii wukrainian 1.8.0+dfsg-1 ii wzip 1.1.5+b1 ii xva-img 1.4.2-1 ii xxd 2:8.2.3565-1+b1 ii xz-utils [lzma] 5.2.5-2 ii zpaq 7.15+repack-1 Versions of packages forensics-extra recommends: ii cmospwd 5.0+dfsg-2+b1 ii cupp 0.0+20190501.git986658-6 ii diffoscope 194 ii dmidecode 3.3-3 ii ree 1.4.1-1 Versions of packages forensics-extra suggests: pn clamav <none> pn dns-flood-detector <none> pn droopy <none> ii forensics-all 3.32 ii forensics-all-gui 3.32 ii forensics-extra-gui 2.32 ii forensics-full 2.32 pn grub-rescue-pc <none> pn isoqlog <none> ii mdadm 4.2~rc2-7 pn systemd-bootchart <none> pn xlsx2csv <none> -- no debconf information
