Source: nmon
Version: 16g+debian-2
Severity: important
User: [email protected]
Usertags: fdisk-dependency
Hello,
As recently announced on debian-devel-announce[1] packages who need
any of sfdisk, cfdisk or fdisk will need to add a dependency on the
new fdisk package.
Your package nmon showed up on codesearch.debian.net and a very quick
analysis suggested you might want to add a dependency (and/or
build-dependency if you use it at build-time, eg. tests).
Please use the backwards-compatible way of specifying the dependency
as suggested in the debian-devel-announce mail:
fdisk | util-linux (<< 2.29.2-3~)
(and if only for tests you might want to add the build profile
<!nocheck>)
Please reassign this bug report to the binary package shipping the
affected part of your source.
If your more detailed analysis shows this should be a recommends,
suggests or even no relationship at all to the fdisk package then
please just close this bug report stating the results of your
analysis (and if so sorry for bothering you).
Regards, Andreas Henriksson

fdisk is not really needed for the functionality of nmon, but rather
when evaluating the stats files with e.g. nmonchart (not packaged) it
can display on request some 'configuration settings/overview'
including the output of fdisk -l.
As such I don't think we need a dependency on fdisk.

Salvatore
