--- Begin Message ---Package: certbot Version: 0.8.1-2~bpo8+1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, the package certbot depends only on python, but the included cron job uses perl to choose a random second within the hour. Please change the cron job to use python instead of perl, otherwise add perl as a dependency (which looks like overkill to me).

--- Begin Message ---Hi Matthias, thanks for caring. M. Buecher wrote: > the package certbot depends only on python, but the included cron > job uses perl to choose a random second within the hour. Yes, that correct. > Please change the cron job to use python instead of perl, This is not necessary as there is no gain: > otherwise add perl as a dependency (which looks like overkill to > me). The cron job only uses perl-internal fuctions (i.e. doesn't need any per modules) and these are covered by the perl-base package -- which contains /usr/bin/perl, is essential and hence installed on _every_ Debian installation and packages using it don't need to depend on it as with any other essential package, too. So there's neither a dependency missing nor can you can rid of perl that way. Hence closing the bug report.
