Public bug reported: There are situations in which the check_rpc utility is required, but in which the user does not wish to also gain an rpc daemon running as root, particularly given LP:1687930 (and perhaps LP:1430181).
Separating out the check_rpc utility into its own package seems the simplest way to address this. ** Affects: rpcbind (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1873166 Title: Consider splitting check_rpc into a separate package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rpcbind/+bug/1873166/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
