iproute2 not set as a dependency of openvpn

[jOHAN]

Hello,

I have Salix 14.0, amd64, full install. When I tried to connect to a VPN using openvpn, i got following error:

Code: Select all

...
Wed Jan 23 21:10:21 2013 TUN/TAP device tun0 opened
Wed Jan 23 21:10:21 2013 /usr/sbin/ip link set dev tun0 up mtu 1500
Wed Jan 23 21:10:21 2013 Linux ip link set failed: could not execute external program
Wed Jan 23 21:10:21 2013 Exiting

That was because the "/usr/sbin/ip" program was not present in my system. Google told me, that the iproute2 package contains required executable. The error disappeared after iproute2 installation and I got successful VPN connection.

Shouldn't be iproute2 installed as a dependecy to openvpn package?
