Re: need input: essential packages and pre-depends



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Fine.

Summary: Either

1) procps is(should be) essential. or
2) procps is not(should not be) essential.

If 1), I would propose to add Pre-Depends fields for libc6.

If 2), then someone should report a bug against netbase for using
ps in the postinst without having a Depends: procps. The same for
postgresql. Are there any more packages like this?

> (I think we should minimize essential packages).

I agree, but they are already quite minimized...

[ I'm still a little bit confused by the fact of ps being in /bin/ps and
not considering essential the package that contains it ].
