Package: gnustep-base-runtime Version: 1.22.1-4.1 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/gdomap
file-roller, part of GNOME, recommends unar, which depends on gnustep-base-runtime. gnustep-base-runtime starts a system daemon, gdomap. According to the gdomap man page and the documentation at <http://www.gnustep.org/resources/documentation/Developer/Tools/Reference/gdomap.html>, gdomap "should be started (as root) at system boot time (if inter-host messaging is desired)". On systems where OpenStep inter-host messaging is *not* desired - which I expect means most of them, since LANs where you can't implicitly trust everyone else on the LAN are common - it seems undesirable, or at best useless, to be running this daemon. Please consider disabling it by default, or separating it into a binary package that other things only Suggest, or something. Workaround: "systemctl stop gdomap.service; systemctl mask gdomap.service" (systemd) or "invoke-rc.d gdomap stop; update-rc.d gdomap disable" (sysvinit) or equivalent.
