Description:

wifi-select 0.8 does not work at all because it sources a file which
does not exist. The following patch fixes it

--- /usr/bin/wifi-select.orig
+++ /usr/bin/wifi-select
@@ -8,7 +8,7 @@
#

. /etc/rc.d/functions
-. /usr/lib/network/network.subr
+. /usr/lib/network/network

err_append() {
stat_append " - $*"


The file network.subr changed in a reorganisation of netcfg.

This was discussed in the Forum months ago.
See http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=63973&p=3

It's a simple change, so it's rather disappointing that it was not
fixed immediately upstream (it still has not been) and that we have
a package in community which wasn't even slightly tested when a
dependency was updated.

Additional info:
* package version(s) 0.8

Steps to reproduce:
Try to run wifi-select.

I think it's rather disappointing that noone saw fit to file a bug sooner.

There's no need to get pissy about it.
