Package: procps Version: 2:4.0.4-9+b1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi!
The procps package currently Recommends linux-sysctl-defaults on all systems, which means it is getting pulled by default on installation. But this is not helpful, or is simply getting unused on non-Linux systems. The attached patch restricts the Recommends to only Linux based systems. Thanks, Guillem
