Bug#875708: [mytop] missing libconfig-inifiles-perl
severity 875708 important thank you mytop is a minor script and there's easy workaround, so I am setting this as important. And I will fix this in next mariadb-10.1 update in unstable and stable. Also please not that it's the maintainer of the package who makes the ultimate decision on the package severity. Ondrej.

severity 875708 serious thanks Hallo Daniel, Am Donnerstag, den 12.10.2017, 21:17 +0200 schrieb Daniel Baumann: > severity 875708 normal > thanks > > Hi, > > this hardly qualifies as a serious - not everybody is using mytop and > mytop is not a core functionality of the mariadb-client-10.1 package. > pulling in libconfig-inifiles-perl unconditionally on all systems is > thus unecessary bloat. > [...] its not hardly, its real. Mytop can't work without libconfig-inifiles- perl. So it must by declare as with Depends. From [1]: [qoute] The Depends field should be used if the depended-on package is required for the depending package to provide a significant amount of functionality. [/quote] And a missing dependency is an RC-Bug. From[2]: [quote] serious is a severe violation of Debian policy (roughly, it violates a "must" or "required" directive), or, in the package maintainer's or release manager's opinion, makes the package unsuitable for release.

severity 875708 normal thanks Hi, this hardly qualifies as a serious - not everybody is using mytop and mytop is not a core functionality of the mariadb-client-10.1 package. pulling in libconfig-inifiles-perl unconditionally on all systems is thus unecessary bloat. if at all, libconfig-inifiles-perl should rather be in recommends, not depends. imho better suited in suggests only though.
