Package: vpnc-scripts Version: 0.1~git20140806-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
While the obsolete net-tools still has many reverse dependencies it seems like the last thing on my system pulling in net-tools is vpnc-scripts, so I investigated what needed changes to work without net-tools. After looking at the vpnc-scripts it looks to me like this is simply caused by incorrectly specified dependencies in the vpnc-scripts package. The upstream scripts already seems to always prefer iproute2 over net-tools. For basic functionality it can fall back on net-tools when lacking iproute2. Please consider applying the attached patch. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages vpnc-scripts depends on: ii net-tools 1.60-26+b1 Versions of packages vpnc-scripts recommends: ii iproute2 3.16.0-2 Versions of packages vpnc-scripts suggests: pn dnsmasq <none> ii openssh-server 1:6.7p1-5 pn resolvconf <none> -- no debconf information
