Package: binutils Version: 2.18.1~cvs20080103-7 Severity: normal I just tried to run strings on my server which for security reasons lacks any compilers or similar tools. Unfortunately, strings is in binutils.
I think of strings as a poor-man's od, which is in coreutils. Please consider moving strings from binutils to coreutils, or some other similar package that is typically installed on a server.
