Title:
ubuntu-fan recommends netcat package in universe
Status in ubuntu-fan package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Following some debug of the docker.io package in universe, we
(Canonical CPC) discovered that the ubuntu-fan package from main and
the netcat-traditional package from universe were being installed.
This was due to the following dependency/recommends tree:
* docker.io (in universe) recommends ubuntu-fan (main)
* ubuntu-fan (main) recommends netcat (universe)
* netcat (universe) is a transitional package and depends on
netcat-traditional (universe)
Our concern is that this might be a packaging violation as ubuntu-fan
is recommending a package not in main.
> In addition, the packages in main
>
> must not require a package outside of main for compilation or execution
(thus, the package must
> not declare a "Depends", "Recommends", or "Build-Depends" relationship on a
non-main package),

policy/policy.html/ch-archive.html#s-main
I will file a bug against netcat too to start a discussion on netcat
being built from netcat-openbsd (main) instead of netcat-traditional
(universe).
Our feeling is that netcat is such a frequently depended on or recommended
package that it being present in main would benefit Ubuntu.
