Details

Description: package 'hwd' makes use of curl but it's not installed when you install hwd.


Additional info:
* curl-7.18.1-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz
* kernel 2.6.25, everything updated as per 28/5-08


Steps to reproduce:

Install Arch from Archlinux-i686-2008.03-0.3.core.iso, do a full system update (pacman -Syu), reboot to use the new (2.6.25) kernel, install hwd (pacman -S hwd), and it doesn't pull in curl as a runtime dependency, thus:

[root@archlinux arch]# hwd -u
Testing: kernel (2.6.25-ARCH) supports uevents
Update pci-, usb.ids and xorgtable.
Are you connected and ready to update(y/n)? [n] y
Please wait....
xorgtable -->ok

Please wait (pci.ids)....
which: no curl in (/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/....)

(this is in a VM so I can't copy paste, but the path is longer)
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  None
Additional comments about closing:  If hwd can't find curl it'll try to use wget and hwd only needs curl for updating, not for normal operation.

Okay, fair enough.
