Dear Maintainer,

The current version of smokeping in Debian (2.7.3-4.1) still depends on
'echoping' which was removed from the archives on 2020-08-07, so the
last release that shipped it was buster (currently: old-old-stable).

Please remove this dependency (as it violates Debian policy §2.2.1, see
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#the-main-archive-area)

cheers, and thanks for packaging 'smokeping'.

according to https://ftp-master.debian.org/removals-2022.txt

Since echoping is optional in smokeping and I'm glad to confirm that
package otherwise does what it's supposed to do, the fix is trivial, so
here we go:

Dear maintainer,

to fix the issues with this package, I've prepared an NMU for smokeping
(versioned as 2.7.3-4.2), debdiff below. An upload to DELAYED/5 will
follow shortly. Please feel free to tell me if I should delay it
longer.

Regards,

    Christoph
