Dear maintainer(s),

I noticed that package hipercontracer-dbshell recommends
mongodb-mongosh, which is currently not available in unstable.

See:

- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/mongodb-mongosh

I see in the tracker.d.o that mongodb package was removed in 2020.

I think that mongodb-mongosh maybe was an attempt to have the mongo
shell, which is not available in Debian now.

I think that should be removed.

Thank you for your time,

Hi,

mongodb-mongosh is not in Debian, since MongoDB is currently(?) not in
Debian. It requires the official MongoDB PPA. If MongoDB is used as
back-end, and the user has configured the MongoDB PPA, APT would then
install mongosh as weak dependency (by default). Would changing the
"Recommends:" to "Suggests:" be suitable (the user then would of course
have to use --install-suggests to get mongosh installed) to fix this bug?
