[Werner Detter]

Package: nagios-nrpe-server
Version: 2.12-6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

the installation of the package "nagios-nrpe-server" on a freshly installed Debian Wheezy also installs the package
"backuppc": 

root at rw2:~# aptitude install nagios-nrpe-server

  smbclient{a} snmp{a} ssl-cert{a} ttf-dejavu{a} ttf-dejavu-extra{a} 

What's the reason for that? It's quite annoying because the package has to be removed every time if you don't need or don't use backuppc.

Thank you,
Werner Detter
