One may argue that by default, you may not want to install EITHER nagios3 OR icinga. There are only two files installed by this package, and the Recommends field coupled with the defaults installation of all such pacakges and their dependencies carries a rather heavy burden for something rather self-contained.
Arguably, it is unlikely that you may want to run the check_nrpe plugin without nagios3 or icinga, but it is also equally unlikely that someone who is running nagios or icinga3 hasn't already installed these packages in addition to the nagios-nrpe-plugin package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927651 Title: 'nagios-nrpe-plugin' unnecessarily recommends 'nagios3' package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nagios-nrpe/+bug/927651/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
