Package: gnump3d
Severity: important
Version: 2.9.8-2

Hello,

While trying to setup a minimal vserver for "gnump3d" I found that
"gnump3d" would give an error about not being able to open the port.

On further investigation it turned out that the IO::Socket::INET call
was giving up as it was unable to open "/etc/protocols" which is in
package "netbase".

Now "IO::Socket::INET" is in "perl-base" so perhaps this bug should
be against "perl-base". However, since "perl" is used for a number
of things it may not be right to ask for "perl-base" to depend on
"netbase" since the support for INET sockets is but one of the many
features of "perl-base". On the other hand "gnump3d" will not work
with this particular feature so "netbase" probably ought to be in
the dependency list for "gnump3d".

Thanks and regards,

Kapil.
