[Bug 588442] [NEW] backuppc: Missing dependency to rrdtool

[Daniel]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: backuppc

When installing backuppc in a new debootstrapped environment, It does
not show the pool size graphics at the status page.

To enable them, you need to manually install the package rrdtool.

I would not add the dependency to the (hard) Depends clause but to the
Suggests or Recommends because not everybody may want to install 9M of
dependencies (22M uncompressed; X and font libraries) just to enable
these two charts. But for those looking for a solution for their broken
graphics it should be included somewhere in the control file.

Package: backuppc
Version: 3.1.0-9ubuntu1

Linux 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 28 13:28:05 UTC 2010
x86_64 GNU/Linux


Reproduce:
- debootstrap
- chroot
- apt-get install backuppc
- browser: status page: Graphics not visible (broken graphics symbol in firefox)
- apt-get install rrdtool
- browser: status page: Graphics visible
