--- Begin Message ---Source: uwsgi Version: 2.0.31-4 Usertags: pidof-without-procps Dear maintainer(s) of uwsgi, it appears that uwsgi uses `pidof` in its testsuite, or that at least one of its binary packages uses `pidof` at runtime. Historically, `pidof` was provided by the Essential package `sysvinit-tools`, making an explicit dependency unnecessary. However `pidof` will soon be moved to `procps` and will no longer be part of the Essential set. Please add an explicit dependency on `procps`: * via the `Depends:` field of all binary packages of uwsgi that use `pidof` at runtime; * via the `Build-Depends:` field of uwsgi, if `pidof` is used in tests run at build-time; * via the `Depends:` field of `debian/control/tests`, if `pidof` is used in autopkgtests. To prevent any disruption for users of uwsgi, please add this dependency now, before `pidof` is moved from `sysvinit-utils` to `procps`. Alternatively, you could remove all uses of `pidof`. It is believed that uwsgi uses `pidof` due to the following code snippets: ``` path: uwsgi_2.0.31-3/tests/gh-shared.sh date > reload.txt sleep 3 pidof uwsgi && killall uwsgi sleep 1 pidof uwsgi && killall -9 uwsgi path: uwsgi_2.0.31-3/tests/gh-shared.sh http_test() { URL=$1 UPID=`pidof uwsgi` if [ "$UPID" != "" ]; then echo -e "${bldgre}>>> Spawned PID $UPID, running tests${txtrst}" path: uwsgi_2.0.31-3/tests/gh-shared.sh pidof uwsgi && killall uwsgi sleep 1 pidof uwsgi && killall -9 uwsgi echo -e "$@" if [ -e uwsgi.log ]; then path: uwsgi_2.0.31-3/tests/travis.sh date > reload.txt sleep 3 pidof uwsgi && killall uwsgi sleep 1 pidof uwsgi && killall -9 uwsgi path: uwsgi_2.0.31-3/tests/travis.sh http_test() { URL=$1 UPID=`pidof uwsgi` if [ "$UPID" != "" ]; then echo -e "${bldgre}>>> Spawned PID $UPID, running tests${txtrst}" ``` Feel free to close this issue if this is a false positive (for example if this code is in an unreachable code path).

Thanks for the hint, however this is not run by the build time test suite or by debian-ci, thus closing. Alex
