Package: clonezilla Version: 5.14.5-1 Severity: normal Hi,
I'm forwarding this one from https://github.com/grml/grml/issues/264 which I furthermore brought up at upstream at https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/437/. When running clonezilla and choosing the remote-dest + restoredisk options, and if netcat-openbsd is present and used as `nc`, its execution fails with: | OpenBSD netcat is not supported! Quoting from clonezilla's source: case "$ONTHEFLY_NET_PIPE" in netcat) # check if command is nc or netcat if command -v nc &>/dev/null; then NC_CMD="nc" elif command -v netcat &>/dev/null; then NC_CMD="netcat" [...] LC_ALL=C $NC_CMD -h > $nc_tmp 2>&1 if [ -n "$(grep -Ei "^OpenBSD" $nc_tmp)" ]; then # netcat.openbsd won't exit if its option -N is not used. However, # if it's used, it has an issue to receive from stdin in the destination [ "$BOOTUP" = "color" ] && $SETCOLOR_FAILURE echo "OpenBSD netcat is not supported!" | tee --append ${OCS_LOGFILE} [ "$BOOTUP" = "color" ] && $SETCOLOR_NORMAL echo "$msg_program_stop!!" exit 1 fi Currently, the clonezilla package doesn't depend on neither netcat-openbsd nor netcat-traditional. I've discussed this with upstream at https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/437/ and our conclusion is, that a check for nc.traditional should be added to clonezilla source. Then the clonezilla package could depend/recommend/suggest on netcat-traditional. Reporting this to have a tracking issue also within Debian, as promised towards upstream. regards -mika-
