Bug#735278: Lsof is needed by checkrestart but it's tagged as 'recommends'
Hi, Andrei POPESCU wrote: If installing recommended packages is disabled checkrestart won't work because it depends on lsof http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/lsof which is tagged to debian-goodies as recommended package. That's on purpose. Since debian-goodies is a package containing many small programs it wouldn't be wise to put all their depedencies in Depends, because not everyone uses every tool. But we could add the hard dependencies for each program in the package description like devscripts (a similar package, but for package developers) or hobbit-plugins (another program collection) do it.

Bug#735278: Lsof is needed by checkrestart but it's tagged as 'recommends'
Package: debian-goodiesVersion: 0.61 If installing recommended packages is disabled checkrestart won't work because it depends on lsof http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/lsof which is tagged to debian-goodies as recommended package. Here is the output from checkrestart: $ checkrestartERROR: This program needs lsof in order to run.Please install the lsof package in your system.$ I believe lsof should be moved to be as 'depends' because of this. I am using 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.51-1 x86_64
