PVM seems irrelevant these days and should probably be removed; there is already #1059644 for that, but it still has reverse dependencies. pdsh already depends on openssh-client and the package description states "It has built-in, thread-safe clients for rsh". I wonder if it really needs rsh-client or whether that dependency could just be dropped? Ansgar
