Package: ding
Severity: normal
As subject says: description says it requires agrep or egrep, yet only
suggests agrep.
If description is correct, it should instead recommend agrep | egrep

Hi Jonas!
Sorry, it seems, that I missed your bug report in my inbox. Just
noticed it in the BTS.

Recommending egrep does not make sense here since egrep(1) is part of
the grep package, which is "Priority: required", so it should exist on
every Debian system.
agrep is part of the non-free archive, so it isn't available to users,
that only use "main". To not bug them too much, I downgraded this
dependency from "Recommends" to "Suggests" and documented all this in
the package description.
So everybody can use egrep(1) and those users, that use non-free
software are able to switch to agrep(1).
In conclusion, I don't think that this is a bug and close this bug
report.
Tschoeeee
