Inguma recommends superseded package

[David Futcher]

Binary package hint: inguma

Inguma should remove its Recommends on the package "scapy" as Scapy stuff has been moved to "python-scapy" and the current "scapy" package is a dummy package that points to "python-scapy". Removing Inguma's recommendation of the package should allow "scapy" to be removed from the archives.

Debdiff to remove dependency on scapy. Builds in a chroot and runs as it should (with the new python-scapy).

[David Futcher (bobbo)]

Noticed it was a recommends, not a dependency. Updated bug report and changelog. New debdiff.

Hi,

Please report this to Debian, assuming they have the same situation.

Thanks,

James

Hi,

I didn't notice before that there was already an alternative in use for the
Recommends.

In that case I'm not going to upload this. There is no gain, and it just makes
life harder for backports. We can pick this up from Debian when they change
it.

I'm un-subscribing the sponsors. If you disagree and would like someone else
to take a look please feel free to re-subscribe them.

Thanks,

James

James,

Ok, I understand. I agree and will wait for Debian to include this, then sync it.

Thanks,
David

There's no need to invalidate the bug, it will show up as an easy target
when the Debian bug is fixed.

Note that getting rid of scapy doesn't depend on fixing this.

Thanks,

James
