iproute2 not set as a dependency of openvpn
Posted: 23. Jan 2013, 20:27
Hello,
I have Salix 14.0, amd64, full install. When I tried to connect to a VPN using openvpn, i got following error:
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?
