Package: distcc Version: 2.18.3-8 Severity: wishlist
distcc in Lenny depends on dbus and several avahi libraries, to allow the zeroconf switch to be enabled by default. On small machines which primarily act as distcc clients, and on servers which are always-on, dbus won't/should not be running. On these machines dbus currently gets installed via dependency from distcc, and has to be disabled manually afterwards. It seems to me a much easier solution for everyone to have the zeroconf switch on distcc to be disabled by default, and lower dbus and avahi to Suggest. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (450, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.27 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages distcc depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii dbus 1.2.1-5 simple interprocess messaging syst ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii libavahi-client3 0.6.23-3lenny1 Avahi client library ii libavahi-common3 0.6.23-3lenny1 Avahi common library ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpopt0 1.14-4 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii netbase 4.34 Basic TCP/IP networking system distcc recommends no packages.
