Why does at least the percona-server-server-8.4 depend on the obsolete net-tools package

MySQL & MariaDB Percona Server for MySQL 8.0
1

Hello,

Why does at least the percona-server-server-8.4.3-3.1.el9.x86_64 RPM package depend on the obsolete net-tools package (on obsolete tools like arp, ifconfig, route, etc.)?

PS: There is no subcategory for Percona Server for MySQL 8.4 or LTS, so I hope I’m asking in the right place.

Thank you in advance and best regards
Karel Ziegler

Hi Karel,

Upstream mysql package requires it.

As soon as the dependency is changed then it will be changed accordingly in our packages.

Hi @Vadim_Yalovets,

Thanks for the direction, I tried to ask on MySQL forum.
