nagios-statd-client should not depend only on nagios

[Walter Huf]

nagios-statd-client, in Hardy, depends on nagios. However, nagios-statd-client works perfectly with nagios2, and so I should be able to install nagios-statd-client with either nagios or nagios2 installed.

The depends of the nagios-statd-client should be modified to allow either nagios or nagios2.

Thank you.

I think on Hardy it is slightly more serious. Unless I've missed something, Nagios v1.x isn't packaged and therefore nagios-statd-client depending in nagios rather than nagios2 effectively orphans the package (assuming the package is okay to use with nagios2, of course).

Update on *why* the client depends on nagios, not nagios2.

There is no specific Depends on nagios but debhelper deduces it from the path the client is installed to, which is specified in the client's .install file.

I examined nagios2-common and the plug-in packages and noticed the paths for plug-ins is different to that being used by the client - I assume that is a difference between nagios v1.x and v2.x.

I've altered the .install file and test-built the package and now the Depends on nagios has gone. I've uploaded the test package to my PPA so maybe you'd like to try it out with nagios2? I shall be doing the same
