[rt-users] make fixdeps not working?

[Bob Apthorpe]

Install libnet manually and during the setup phase, make sure to say yes if 
perl asks if you want to update your configuration, and ensure libnet is set 
to always use passive FTP. Active FTP rarely works through firewalls; once 
you have libnet set to use passive FTP, a lot of problems go away. There are 
ways of manually editing config files to force passive FTP but it's often 
simpler to reconfigure libnet during the installation/upgrade process.
