Package: git Version: 1:2.11.0-3 Severity: normal Hi maintainer!
The `git` package recommends the `rsync` package. I'm sure this is wrong, because git no longer supports rsync (2016 change). https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/commit/?id=0d0bac67ce3b3f2301702573f6acc100798d7edd I checked the upstream source. There are references to rsync in git-archimport. However, git-archimport is split out into a separate package `git-arch`. The `git-arch` package should surely depend on (not just recommend) rsync, I think that should be fixed at the same time. https://github.com/git/git/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=rsync&type= Thanks Alan -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: armel (armv5tel) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-kirkwood Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages git depends on: ii dpkg 1.18.23 ii git-man 1:2.11.0-3 ii libc6 2.24-10 ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.52.1-5 ii liberror-perl 0.17024-1 ii libexpat1 2.2.0-2 ii libpcre3 2:8.39-3 ii perl 5.24.1-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 Versions of packages git recommends: ii less 481-2.1 ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:7.4p1-10 ii patch 2.7.5-1+b2 ii rsync 3.1.2-2 Versions of packages git suggests: ii gettext-base 0.19.8.1-2 pn git-arch <none> pn git-cvs <none> pn git-daemon-run | git-daemon-sysvinit <none> pn git-doc <none> pn git-el <none> pn git-email <none> pn git-gui <none> pn git-mediawiki <none> pn git-svn <none> pn gitk <none> pn gitweb <none> -- no debconf information
