Package: glances
Version: 2.7.1.1-2
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
When glances is not the latest version, it prints a message upon
quitting suggesting one should upgrade using 'pip'. While I trust the
Debian project enough to install upgrades, I do not trust pip. (In
fact, I think it raises grave security issues that people are now
trusting pip as a package manager, but that's another issue...)
Furthermore, since I'm running Debian stable, I expect my software
will be a few revisions behind and that's okay by me. Manually
installing individual software upgrades is pointless on a system like
Debian where the OS handles all that for me. I do not want or need pip.
Can the nag message please be removed?
Thank you.
P.S. This is related to, but not the same issue as BUG #850258
("glances: calling home?"). If the phone home feature is disabled,
that would have the benefit of also fixing this bug.
