net-tools future

[Holger Levsen]

resend to fai-devel, as bcc:s are stuck in moderation. Thomas is it ok to 
commit the attached patch to trunk? (IMO its a waste of time to file a bug 
for this and it's clearly a serious bug.)

Hi Luk,

Sadly I think thats wishful thinking at least in the case of the four packages 
I mentioned. 

munin uses netstat only in the netstat plugin. I've now added a suggests (in 
svn) on the assumption that netstat is a rather common plugin. We dont want 
to suggest asterisk just because there is a plugin to monitor it :)

debian-edu-config might be covered through one of its depends (but it doesnt 
seem so, not even lsb depends net-tools, so I just added a depends in svn).

sitesummary misses it, so I fixed it in svn.

fai uses it in three binary packages: fai-server, fai-client and fai-doc. I'll 
follow up on this on the fai-list.


regards,
	Holger
