#247 Issue closed: The REAR RPM does not require the lftp RPM as a dependency¶

If using the FTP protocol (et al) for ISO output, REAR will not work if YUM'd in since it will not require that the lftp RPM be installed with it. But it is required for it to work as far as I can tell.

The OUTPUT_URL=ftp:// requires lftp that is correct, but it is not a
core dependency for rear and therefore it is not mentioned in the
rear.spec file. If it is missing, you will noticed it when it tries to
ftp the ISO image (which fails).
If that is not acceptable, please write a small script in the
usr/share/rear/prep/NETFS/default/ directory to check if lftp is
available? We are happy to accept a pull merge!

Be aware that on SLES lftp is not available as RPM. Sources can be
found at http://lftp.yar.ru/get.html
