Before dependencies to this are often "just" to libcollectdclient1. But then Recommends was still overloaded.
E.g. libcollectdclient1 -> Recommends: collectd collectd -> Depends: collectd-core (>= 5.9.2.g-1ubuntu5), collectd-core (<< 5.9.2.g-1ubuntu5.1~), libc6 (>= 2.14), librrd8 (>= 1.3.0) Recommends: intel-cmt-cat (>= 3.2), libatasmart4 (>= 0.13), libbson-1.0-0 (>= 1.16.1), libc6 (>= 2.29), libcurl3-gnutls (>= 7.18.2-5), libdbi1 (>= 0.9.0), libesmtp6, libganglia1, libgcc-s1 (>= 3.0), libgcrypt20 (>= 1.8.0), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0), libgps26 (>= 3.3), libgrpc++1, libhiredis0.14 (>= 0.14.0), libi2c0 (>= 4.0), libip4tc2 (>= 1.8.3), libip6tc2 (>= 1.8.3), libldap-2.4-2 (>= 2.4.7), liblua5.3-0, libmemcached11, libmicrohttpd12 (>= 0.9.50), libmnl0 (>= 1.0.3-4~), libmodbus5 (>= 3.0.2), libmongoc-1.0-0 (>= 1.16.1), libmosquitto1 (>= 1.2), libmysqlclient21 (>= 8.0.11), libnotify4 (>= 0.7.0), libopenipmi0, liboping0 (>= 0.3.3), libowcapi-3.2-3 (>= 3.2p3+dfsg1), libpcap0.8 (>= 1.0.0), libperl5.30 (>= 5.30.0), libpq5, libprotobuf-c1 (>= 1.0.1), libprotobuf17, libqpid-proton11, librabbitmq4 (>= 0.6.0), librdkafka1 (>= 0.9.1), libriemann-client0 (>= 1.10.0), librrd8 (>= 1.4~rc2), librte-eal20.0 (>= 19.11), librte-ethdev20.0 (>= 19.11), libsensors5 (>= 1:3.5.0), libsnmp35 (>= 5.8+dfsg), libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0), libstdc++6 (>= 5.2), libtokyotyrant3, libudev1 (>= 183), libvarnishapi2 (>= 6.1.0), libvirt0 (>= 1.2.11~rc1), libxenmisc4.11, libxml2 (>= 2.7.4), libyajl2 (>= 2.0.4), default-jre-headless So yes, people "could" install it with few dependent packages, but generally since recommends are installed by default a lot will still be pulled in. This now changed: libcollectdclient1 as of 5.11.0-2 in groovy has only: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14), libgcrypt20 (>= 1.8.0) Suggests: collectd That opens up the chance to consider promoting only that client lib. But so far the only package making use of that is freeradius and for now that could as well be a minor delta there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/801721 Title: [MIR] collectd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/collectd/+bug/801721/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
