Package: netsniff-ng Severity: normal Packet sniffing beast? Seriously?
This is the tackiest description I have ever seen in debian. Whats worse is that it does a poor job of describing the contents of the package. Upstream aptly refers to this as a "toolkit." After reading the sophmoric description of "packet sniffing beast" I doubt the average user would expect to find the following programs in the package: trafgen, a multithreaded low-level zero-copy network packet generator mausezahn, high-level packet generator for HW/SW appliances with Cisco-CLI* flowtop, a top-like netfilter connection tracking tool curvetun, a lightweight curve25519-based IP tunnel astraceroute, an autonomous system (AS) trace route utility Debian Policy 3.4.1 The single line synopsis "Remember that in many situations the user may only see the synopsis line - make it as informative as you can." -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.14.0-rc4+ (SMP w/6 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages netsniff-ng depends on: ii libc6 2.18-4 pn libcli1.9 <none> ii libgeoip1 1.6.0-1 ii libncurses5 5.9+20140118-1 ii libnetfilter-conntrack3 1.0.4-1 pn libnl1 <none> ii libtinfo5 5.9+20140118-1 pn liburcu1 <none> Versions of packages netsniff-ng recommends: ii ntp 1:4.2.7-1 netsniff-ng suggests no packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
