The reason for the big list of packages is: nagios-nrpe requires
nagios-plugins.
nagios-plugins was splitted into subpackages to align better with the different
dependencies.
So - as example - nagios-plugins requires nagios-plugins-nagios (which was
included in nagios-plugins before the split). nagios-plugins-nagios itself now
requires (correctly) the package nagios (otherwise it would not make sense to
have the "check_nagios" installed). nagios itself now recommends nagios-www,
which needs apache2 and apache2-mod_php5. Same happens for mrtg (nagios-plugins
=> nagios-plugins-mrtg) and so on.
So your big list of packages is the result of setting the dependencies inside
the subpackages of nagios-plugins correctly.
There are 2 options here:
* lower the dependencies in nagios-plugins (to recommend instead of require)
=> this is also handled in bug #789428
* reduce the dependency in nagios-nrpe to recommend just the minimal set of
nagios-plugins subpackages
@Joachim Schönberg:
the development repository for nagios-plugins and nagios-nrpe already contains
the mentioned changes (Note: nagios-nrpe was renamed to nrpe there):
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/monitoring/openSUSE_12.2/ -
maybe you can test if the packages from this repository do what you expect?
@Maintenance:
I like to request a combined package update to nagios-nrpe and nagios-plugins
to fix bug #789428 and bug #778970. Both packages have seen backward compatible
version upgrades meanwhile (I can provide a detailed list of changes, if
needed), are available in the server:monitoring repository for a while now and
are tested at least with a lot of machines running SLES. From my point of view,
the new packages there fix both bugs and provide additional bugfixes that would
make sense for both distributions: openSUSE 12.1 and openSUSE 12.2.
