Package: ntopng
Version: 2.4+dfsg1-4
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
Logging into the ntop-ng webinterface, i get a warning on each page:
~~~
A new ntopng (v.3.0.0) is available for download: please upgrade.
~~~
I conclude that ntop-ng is "calling home" to check for new upstreams.
Please remove the relevant code from the Debian package, as it
constitutes a privacy breach.
