            Bug ID: 1184658
           Summary: Debian client package not depending on attr
           Product: GlusterFS
           Version: 3.6.1
         Component: build
          Severity: low
          Assignee: bugs at gluster.org
          Reporter: rhbugzilla at ajaton.net

Description of problem:
In the spirit of bug 1184626 i'm reporting that Debian doesn't either include
the attr package as a dependency for the glusterfs-client (or -common?) causing
warning message to be shown:

WARNING: getfattr not found, certain checks will be skipped..

As glusterfs depends heavily on the extended attributes perhaps the attr
package should be depend on both server and client side to avoid unnecessary
warnings and also to allow performing any operations over the bricks
(debugging, resetting attributes, etc.).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Tested only with 3.6.1 on Debian Jessie (can't recall seeing this warning on
3.3. or 3.4 series)

How reproducible:
Easily and always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install 3.6.1 from community-provided packages
2. mount -t glusterfs host:/volume /mountpoint

Actual results:
mount is successful with the following message:

WARNING: getfattr not found, certain checks will be skipped..

Expected results:
No warnings?
