Details
In [gnome-unstable] the dependencies iputils and nmap were
added to gnome-nettool. Perhaps nmap should be made optional
as it is a heavier program and is only needed for the "Port
Scan" tab (gnome-nettool will tell to install nmap if it
isn't). Debian has no nmap dependency at all:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/gnome-nettool
It would also be possible to make netkit-bsd-finger optional, which unnecessarily installs xinetd for the finger server. Gnome-nettool will use pinky (lightweight finger) from coreutils package if it cannot find finger. I don't think anyone uses finger nowadays. To get the netstat tab working netstat is needed. Therefore net-tools should be an optional dependency. Please don't depend directly on it as it is really old stuff. Gnome-nettool instead should use iproute2 in the future. Namcap also wants a dconf dependency, I don't know if that's correct, just noting it here. gnome-nettool E: Dependency dconf detected and not included (needed for glib schemas) |
