Bug#22206: Some package uses psmisc without a dependency
Package: general Version: 1998-05-07 Today I have just tried the new APT on a libc5 machine to upgrade to hamm. [ Looks promising! ]. Well, from the hundreds of messages I was able to see a killall: command not found or something alike. I am quite surprised to see that psmisc is just optional (is this priority ok?). Anyway, since psmisc is not essential (and this is what really matters), it would be interesting to know which package uses killall (if any) and where, to add the appropriate Dependency. Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
