Package: debian-lan-config Followup-For: Bug #887261 Hi Helmut,
> We want to make removing e2fsprogs from installations possible. For standard > installations this is not useful, but embedded applications and chroots > benefit > from such an option. For getting there all packages that use e2fsprogs must > be > identified and gain a dependency on it as e2fsprogs currently is essential. > > debian-lan-config was identified as potentially needing such a dependency, > because it mentions tool names from e2fsprogs in the following files: > > /usr/share/debian-lan-config/fai/config/tests/Faitest.pm contains tune2fs. > According to file it is a Perl scripttext executable > > Please investigate whether these cases are actually uses of a tool from > e2fsprogs. Care has been taken to shrink the number of candidates as much as > possible, but a few false positives will remain. After doing so, do one of the > following: > > * Add e2fsprogs to Depends. > * Add e2fsprogs to Recommends. > * Close this bug explaining why e2fsprogs is not used by this package. e2fsprogs might be used in combination with FAI, but debian-lan-config does not need this dependency, as in that case FAI will draw it in (cf. #887208). > Thanks for your help Thanks you for taking care!
