Package: firehol Version: 1.214-1 Severity: important firehol bitches and moans if neither wget or curl are installed, even if the given argument isn't valid:
-----
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/lib/firehol# firehol helpme
ERROR: Command 'curl' not found in the system path.
FireHOL requires this command for its operation.
Please install the required package and retry.
-----
But the package does not Depends: wget | curl
Additionally, wget or curl are only used to download the ECN shame file.
The firehol script has code in place to deal with this download failing,
so it should deal with wget and curl missing in the same way.
I won't install wget or curl on my firewall machine, nor will the
firewall I'm about to configure allow the machine to make HTTP fetches.
I'd prefer to simply live without the ECN shame file, or turn ECN off.
Trivial barely tested patch to ignore missing wget and curl attached.
