#5458 freeipa-client requires wget; curl is in Core and can be used instead
Closed: Fixed Opened by pvoborni.

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Fedora): Bug 1282528

Description of problem:
When installing freeipa-client in a container, I've noticed wget gets
installed. Checking source code shows that it's only used in a couple of
trivial cases that could be converted to curl.
curl, unlike wget, is part of Core group:
# dnf group info 'Core' | grep wget
# dnf group info 'Core' | grep curl
   curl
#
Using it will make the footprint a little bit smaller.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
freeipa-client-4.2.3-1.fc23
How reproducible:
Deterministic.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install -y freeipa-client
Actual results:
Installing:
[...]
 wget                      x86_64   1.16.3-2.fc23               fedora    579 k
Expected results:
wget not installed.
