Hi,mongodb-mongosh is not in Debian, since MongoDB is currently(?) not in Debian. It requires the official MongoDB PPA. If MongoDB is used as back-end, and the user has configured the MongoDB PPA, APT would then install mongosh as weak dependency (by default). Would changing the "Recommends:" to "Suggests:" be suitable (the user then would of course have to use --install-suggests to get mongosh installed) to fix this bug?

Subject: hipercontracer-dbshell: recommends mongodb-mongosh which is not in unstable Package: hipercontracer-dbshell Version: 2.1.12-1.1 Usertags: package-relations package-relations-recommends Severity: wishlist Dear maintainer(s), I noticed that package hipercontracer-dbshell recommends mongodb-mongosh, which is currently not available in unstable. See: - https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/mongodb-mongosh I see in the tracker.d.o that mongodb package was removed in 2020. I think that mongodb-mongosh maybe was an attempt to have the mongo shell, which is not available in Debian now. I think that should be removed.
