Bug Description

Binary package hint: keepalived

It is quite common to use keepalived for its VRRP implementation only, and in such setups the dependency on ipvsadm is completely pointless.

I therefore suggest the dependency be demoted to a suggests.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem. We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.
At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport, either via the appropriate application's "Help -> Report a Problem" menu or using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

All right:

1) I ran "apt-get install keepalived"
2) I expected keepalived to be installed, but not ipvsadm
3) the actual behaviour was that keepalived was installed (as expected) and that ipvsadm was pulled in as a dependency.
