Package: lsof
Version: 4.95.0-1
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer,

Starting with glibc 2.31, support for NIS (libnsl library) has been
moved to a separate libnsl2 package. In order to allow a smooth
transition, a libnsl-dev, which depends on libtirpc-dev, has been added
to the libc6-dev package.

The libnsl-dev dependency has been temporarily dropped in the 2.37-15.1
NMU, as part of the 64-bit time_t transition. This causes the RPC
support in lsof to be dropped, I am not sure it is something to care
about.

Therefore please either:
- Add libtirpc-dev as build dependency
- Disable the RPC support explicitly so that this feature does not
  depend on the packages installed on the system.

The glibc change will likely be reverted in the short term, but given
its a change we want to do for Trixie, this will only lower the severity
of the bug.

Regards
Aurelien
