I've filed a separate bug against rpcbind (LP:1873166) to see whether check_rpc could be split into its own package. If that were to happen, then monitoring-plugins could Recommend the new package to satisfy its own requirements without the overhead of also installing and running the rpcbind daemon. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #751120 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=751120 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1873138 Title: monitoring-plugins-standard installs rpcbind via recommends To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/monitoring-plugins/+bug/1873138/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
