question regarding corosync-qnetd package

[RolandK]

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Cluster_Manager#_corosync_external_vote_support

is telling

"The only requirements for the external host are that it needs network access to the cluster and to have a corosync-qnetd package available. We provide a package for Debian based hosts...."

but i see no package in in pve-no-subscription/pvetest

is this information outdated ?

Looks like it comes from standard Debian:

~# apt policy corosync-qnetd
corosync-qnetd:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 3.0.1-1
  Version table:
     3.0.1-1 500
        500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian bullseye/main amd64 Packages

Edit: actually I do use one such vote, placed in an off-cluster VM on Bullseye. No "Proxmox-Repositories" are enabled on that machine, only plain Debian.

we did provide one back in the stretch/buster days, IIRC because the package shipped by Debian was too old or somehow broken. I guess that sentence can be updated to refer to just installing the package

edit: https://lists.proxmox.com/pipermail/pve-devel/2023-March/055978.html - thanks for the report!
