VPNC uses netstat, route and ifconfig in /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script. I think that net-tools must be a dependency of vpnc.
This task depends upon

Any news about this?

Looking at /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script, I believe use of netstat, route and ifconfig are in the else clause of an if statement that should not be reached because
IPROUTE="`which ip 2> /dev/null | grep '^/'`" should ensure IPROUTE is set which would match if [ -n "$IPROUTE" ]; then.

ip is provided by iproute2 a dependency of vpnc.

@loqs Yes. I just did new tests now and no more netstat is needed. Seems that at moment that I opened this issue vpnc-script was failing without netstat, but now the situation has change and run perfect without it.

I think that this issue can be closed.
