--- Begin Message ---Source: xdg-utils Version: 1.2.1-2 Usertags: pidof-without-procps Dear maintainer(s) of xdg-utils, it appears that xdg-utils 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 xdg-utils that use `pidof` at runtime; * via the `Build-Depends:` field of xdg-utils, 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 xdg-utils, 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 xdg-utils uses `pidof` due to the following code snippets: ``` path: xdg-utils_1.2.1-2/tests/include/desktop_environment xfce_version=`xfce4-session --version | grep '(Xfce ' | cut -d '(' -f 2 | cut -d ' ' -f2 | cut -d ')' -f1` # From massonnet on FreeNode/#xfce #if [ `pidof xfce4-session` ]; then if [ "$GDMSESSION" = 'xfce4' ] ; then running="xfce $running" ``` Feel free to close this issue if this is a false positive (for example if this code is in an unreachable code path). Regards, -- Gioele Barabucci

It's commented out, thus closing. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
