--- Begin Message ---Source: open-iscsi Version: 2.1.11-5 Usertags: pidof-without-procps Dear maintainer(s) of open-iscsi, it appears that open-iscsi 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 open-iscsi that use `pidof` at runtime; * via the `Build-Depends:` field of open-iscsi, 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 open-iscsi, 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 open-iscsi uses `pidof` due to the following code snippets: ``` path: open-iscsi_2.1.11-4/utils/iscsi_discovery.sh { #check if iscsid is running pidof iscsid &>/dev/null ret=$? if [ $ret -ne 0 ]; then ``` 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
