Description MERCIER Jonathan 2011-05-11 04:56:57 UTC
Description of problem:
* dependencie missing:
  - telnet

You need add a Require line in your spec file

Comment 1 Vitezslav Crhonek 2011-05-11 08:09:44 UTC
The expect program itself doesn't require telnet. Telnet is used only in some example scripts. User who wants to utilize these examples should install telnet on his own.

I found only two affected scripts - "weather" (uses telnet in all cases) and "passmass" (telnet is used only when forced with command argument).

I believe adding telnet to the expect requires will introduce just another unnecessary dependency to the system.

(The best solution of this problem is probably improving example scripts which are using telnet to check if telnet is installed and print some message if it is not.)

Please let me know if you concluded that telnet dependency is missing from usage of the two scripts mentioned above, or there's something else that I am missing.

Comment 2 MERCIER Jonathan 2011-06-01 12:05:38 UTC
yes with weather telnet is needed

Comment 3 Vitezslav Crhonek 2011-07-27 14:31:12 UTC
Both scripts updated to let user know that telnet is missing and should be installed in order to use these scripts.
