Hi Johannes,

since a couple of versions check_ssl_cert uses bc to calculate floating
point values. The commit was

https://github.com/matteocorti/check_ssl_cert/commit/6bedeb49bd1523a1d90adeb3ef21e46b7190aada

Hence now bc needs to go from the Recommends section of the package to
actually being a dependency:

Depends: bc

looking into /usr/share/doc/monitoring-plugins-contrib/README.Debian.plugins:

Some plugins require additional libraries. To prevent you from having to
install dozens of further packages that you don't actually need, there is no strict dependency on those libraries. Rather, they are listed as recommenda-tions or suggestions.

apt-get(8) and aptitude(8) will install recommended packages automatically by default. If you did not disable this feature you will have everything in place to operate all plugins when installing the "nagios-plugins-contrib" package. Else you have to install missing dependencies manually (see the section "Plugin dependencies" below).

So it's intention that bc is "just" a Recommend. See https://salsa.debian.org/nagios-team/nagios-plugins-contrib/-/commit/013199bb350af8e2a91213ecb1fc168d37405d94 for this.

With kind regards, Jan
