tags 403120 +wontfix thanks Hi Steffen, and thanks for your bugreport, Le 14.12.2006 21:31, Steffen Joeris a écrit : > Yesterday I saw a package which uses the shell functions provided by > lsb-base but did not have a dependency against it and I came across this > topic.

In my opinion, the Essential set of packages should stay as minimal as possible. The things in that set are what is absolutely needed to run a Debian system and I don't consider lsb-base to qualify to that. So at least _I_ am not going to push this change (hence tagging as wontfix) but wouldn't block people pushing it. Cheers, OdyX
