Package: munin Version: 2.0.21-2 Severity: normal Here is the policy statement regarding the cron-daemon virtual package: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#s-virtual_pkg and here is the annexed list: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/virtual-package-names-list.txt.
cron-daemon was introduced in bug nr 391836. Here is a interresting little quote form the bug report. Many packages that currently depend on 'cron' depend on 'cron | bcron', if a new cron replacement (such as mcron, xcron, chronic or upstart) gets into Debian all those packages need to be modified to Depend on: 'cron | bcron | fcron | mcron | upstart | chronic', making transitions a pain and forcing admins to play with the package system to satisfy dependancies. --Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña This repport was sent from a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian, but is also relevent from Debian. -- System Information: Distributor ID: Raspbian Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux testing (jessie) Release: testing Codename: jessie Architecture: armv6l Kernel: Linux 3.12.26+ (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=fr_BE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_BE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages munin depends on: ii cron 3.0pl1-124.2 ii fonts-dejavu 2.34-1 ii libdate-manip-perl 6.46-1 pn libdigest-md5-perl <none> ii libfile-copy-recursive-perl 0.38-1 ii libhtml-template-perl 2.95-1 ii libio-socket-inet6-perl 2.72-1 ii liblog-log4perl-perl 1.44-1 ii librrds-perl 1.4.8-1.1+b1 pn libstorable-perl <none> ii liburi-perl 1.64-1 ii munin-common 2.0.21-2 ii perl [libtime-hires-perl] 5.20.0-4 ii perl-modules 5.20.0-4 ii rrdtool 1.4.8-1.1+b1 Versions of packages munin recommends: ii libcgi-fast-perl 5.20.0-4 pn munin-doc <none> ii munin-node 2.0.21-2 Versions of packages munin suggests: pn libapache2-mod-fcgid <none> pn libnet-ssleay-perl <none> ii lighttpd [httpd] 1.4.35-3+b1 ii links [www-browser] 2.8-2 ii lynx-cur [www-browser] 2.8.9dev1-2 ii w3m [www-browser] 0.5.3-17 -- Configuration Files: /etc/init.d/munin changed [not included] /etc/munin/munin.conf changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
