Package: nagios-plugins-standard
Version: 1.4.14-1
Severity: normal
The nagios-plugins-standard package pulls in tons of dependencies that
are completely useless to me. This is the depends header:
Depends:
libc6 (>= 2.3),
Unavoidable.
libldap-2.4-2 (>= 2.4.7),
libmysqlclient16 (>= 5.1.21-1),
libpq5 (>= 8.4~0cvs20090328),
libradiusclient-ng2,
The four above are probably not required by all setups, so they might be
candidates for recommends. Having binaries with missing libraries is a
bit weird, these are better kept.
zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4),
Probably unavoidable.
fping,
snmp,
radiusclient1,
libnet-snmp-perl,
dnsutils,
bind9-host | host,
smbclient,
The seven above are good candidates for recommends.
ucf,
Probably unavoidable.
nagios-plugins-basic (>= 1.4.5-2)
This is better kept.
So please move some dependencies to recommends and make a smaller
installation possible.
