Dear maintainer(s),

I noticed that package hipercontracer-collector recommends
td-system-info and td-system-maintenance, which do not seem to exist in
Debian, based on:

- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/td-system-info
- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/td-system-maintenance

- https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=td-system-info&searchon=names&suite=unstable§ion=all
- https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=td-system-maintenance&searchon=names&suite=unstable§ion=all

I don't see any package that contains any file named td-system-info
either.

I guess that they should be removed from the Recommends?

Thank you for your time,

Hi,

the td-system-tools package is waiting for sponsorship on the mentors'
server https://mentors.debian.net/package/td-system-tools/ since a very
long time. This would solve this bug, and also would simplify
debian/tests/50-full-database-test, which currently needs to
build td-system-tools from the sources to run the DB tests.
