Description Ezequiel Partida 2013-02-04 21:58:30 CET

Description of problem:

Playonlinux does not run since it is missing netcat.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

playonlinux-4.1.9-1.mga3.x86_64

How reproducible:

Just install playonlinux-4.1.9-1.mga3.x86_64 and it doesn't run, if you run it in konsole you get the next error:

which: no nc in (/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin/:/usr/games:/usr/lib64/qt4/bin:/home/luis/bin)

I just tought this package should install netcat so that new/non experienced linux users could install this in an easy way.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install playonlinux-4.1.9-1.mga3.x86_64
2. Open konsole
3. Type playonlinux and press enter.

Playonlinux was also unable to install microsoft office 2010, It complains about not having winbind installed.

[main] Fatal: Please install winbind before installing Microsoft Office 2010
/usr/share/playonlinux/lib/playonlinux.lib


After installing samba-winbind everything worked just fine.

please test playonlinux-4.1.9-2.mga3, it adds the missing dependency to netcat.

I don't think I will add winbind as a dependency if the playonlinux error message is clear enough, I'd like not to force winbind on all the systems that have playonlinux installed when they do not need it.

No feedback, assuming it was fine
