Source: bind9 Version: 1:9.18.1-1 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
I think bind9's build-dependency on libldap2-dev is unused. As far as I can tell, it was added to support the dlz-ldap module: https://salsa.debian.org/dns-team/bind9/-/commit/dcc91657062f34b22cceaceaac176e3d445770e9#58ef006ab62b83b4bec5d81fe5b32c3b4c2d1cc2 However, building the dlz modules seems to be disabled since 2011: https://salsa.debian.org/dns-team/bind9/-/commit/6c6fcc660cb7be94857f42979bbae5558c7a4486 The current binary packages have no dependency on libldap, and I didn't find the word "ldap" in their contents, except for the apparmor profile and some documentation. The package builds successfully with libldap2-dev dropped. The build is not reproducible (for other reasons) so I couldn't easily check whether the results were identical. thanks, Ryan
