Package: libslp1 Version: 1.2.1-7.8 Severity: minor Hi,
Installing "cups", I receive the message ┌────────────┤ Configuring libslp1 ├─────────────────────┐ │ │ │ IP multicast-enabled kernel needed to reduce traffic │ │ │ │ The current kernel does not support IP multicast. │ │ OpenSLP will continue to work even without multicast │ │ support in the kernel, by using broadcasts. However, │ │ broadcasts are less efficient on the network, so │ │ please consider upgrading to a multicast-enabled │ │ kernel. │ I never had any explicit intent of using OpenSLP --- the lib was only pulled in through a dependency. Is this message really needed for a smooth upgrade? Maybe it could go on the console and in README.Debian or a similar place, or shown at an appropriate moment at runtime? If the message is really needed, could it be clarified to explain to the confused sysadmin who is unfamiliar with OpenSLP what action is needed, in what circumstance, and why? Thanks for your work.
