tango-starter has a systemd service script which incorrectly depends on
tango-db. But starter and the tango-db don't need to be run on the same
host as you usually have one starter per host but only one tango-db in
the network.

Same issue with tango-access-control.

I'm attaching a patch for what I think needs to change. The init.d
scripts also need to change or be removed.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
tango, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1120516@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.

Thanks a lot for fixing this.

Could you also submit a patched version for the stable and oldstable
packages?
