Cobbler intentionally leaves a lot of requires off the list, because many of them are feature-specific, for instance many users don't use reposync. We pretty much only require what is needed for core functionality and don't force people to install a lot of unnecessary packages if they don't need them. Also, some people prefer curl over wget, so cobbler (if I remember right) checks for both. Frankly, it is quite rare to find a system that has neither curl nor wget so this is a rare error. That being said, cobbler should handle the error more gracefully than a stack dump (this is a long running bug, already tracked on github), and a "cobbler check" option could be added to determine if any mirrored repos exist and to check that wget exists. So, I'm going to close this here as NOTABUG, with the caveat that I'm tracking it via pre-existing issues opened on github related to user experience (https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/issues/396). Good. Thanks for short explanation.(In reply to comment #1) > Cobbler intentionally leaves a lot of requires off the list, because many of > them are feature-specific, for instance many users don't use reposync.
