You might be right. It might have been added for testing the plugin with a local server.
As for the libpq5 dependancy, I didn't notice that before, but you're correct. The overall problem may not be in rsyslog-pgsql itself, but in apt, since 8.10, for automatically installing recommends. It's been told to me before, this was added to auto-install recommends because Debian docs suggest to, but you ask any Debian developer directly, and they will flat out tell you, no, that's not what's recommended to do, and I totally agree. Recommends are just that, recommends. To auto-install them is making them dependants instead of just recommends. Do you need recommended packages to use what you're trying to install? The idea is, no, but they would let you run it at 100% on /that/ system it's being used on. I use a very mixed hybrid of setups, just at my home personal server farm. Debian, Ubuntu, and OpenSUSE, and at work just solely Gentoo. Ubuntu's the only distribution that takes "recommends" overboard. Perhaps I should open up a bug report on apt itself, instead? Perhaps instead, though, it could be a suggestion, rather than a recommend? -- rsyslog-pgsql dependancies: recommend vs depends https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/417578 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
