Package: nsca Severity: normal Hello,
I am trying right now to set up a few distributed network test stations. The idea is that they will check a few network services and report the remote availability to a central nagios server, via send_nsca. While this binary does not itself need anything to speak of, trying to apt-get install it means that I pull in nagios, apache, and a half million other things. I can see two ways to resolve this: split send_nsca and nsca into two packages (which seems silly, as they would have one binary apiece, but is not unprecedented), or relax the depends to a recommends. I think the first is actually a better option as admins installing nsca will actually want it to be useful, and nsca itself is only useful on the nagios host.
