Package: samba Version: 2:3.3.3-1 Severity: normal We use a different log rotation mechanism than logrotate to rotate all system logs since it has additional features specific to our environment. We therefore purge logrotate from all of our systems so that we don't have to clean up all of its configuration files and convince it not to do anything, since otherwise it fights with our log rotation configuration.
samba is one of a few packages we've run into that has a hard dependency on logrotate. This seems to me like the right place to use recommends instead, since samba should not require a specific log rotation program to work properly, only require that its logs be rotated. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
