Package: cacti Version: 0.8.7d-1 Severity: normal We use a different log rotation system than logrotate that has some features specific to our environment. We therefore purge logrotate from all of our systems so that we don't have to clean up all the configuration files separately to be sure that logrotate doesn't start fighting with our log rotation system.
cacti is one of the few packages that we've run into that has a hard dependency on logrotate, making it impossible to purge logrotate and requiring more effort to get logrotate to not do anything. Could you downgrade this dependency to a recommends? cacti shouldn't require a specific log rotation package be used, only that its logs be rotated by some means. logrotate is priority: important, so anyone who doesn't have it installed presumably has removed it intentionally and knows that they'll need to reproduce what it does for various packages.
