Dear release team,
having a look into the status of the nagios packages in squeeze, we
discovered, that ndoutils is not in squeeze (yet).
Not having ndoutils in squeeze means:
* nagvis is broken (missing recommand)
That doesn't mean that nagvis is broken, since it only recommends
ndoutils-mysql. If it's a real runtime non-optional dependency, it makes
nagvis RC buggy.
* ndoutils is in lenny but dropped with squeeze (maybe without any
strong reason)
Never assume that! It was rc-buggy (#560681, causing some data-loss) and
that's why it was removed. Its maintainer didn't try to get it back in
testing. It has been out of testing for over than 7 months now...
* many 3rd party applications are based on ndoutils, so this will
have a significant effect for the nagios "ecosystem" on squeeze
Nothing depends on it (unless I'm on crack), so how its removal can have
a significant effect for the nagios "ecosystem" in Squeeze?
* popcon count is 235
Which is not high...
