[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#574591: nagios-plugins-standard: Wrong dependencies for nagios-plugin-standard version 1.4.14-2

[Glennie Vignarajah]

Package: nagios-plugins-standard
Version: 1.4.14-2
Severity: important

Hello,
 The new version(1.4.14-2) of nagios-plugins-standard depends on
 postfix, sendmail-bin, exim4-daemon-heavy or exim4-daemon-light. But
 there are MTA like (nullmailer, courier-mta or ssmtp ; i'm using nullmailer).
 Thus, the upgrade removes nullmailer and installs postfix.
 Please make the package depend on the virtual package
 mail-transport-agent instead of hard coded MTA packages.
 By the way, as the upgrade breaks my setup, the severity is set
 'important'. Please, downgrade it if necessary!
Regards,
