Foreman dependencies package

Support

Hi All,

I guess it could be useful, if anyone landed up on this issue. BTW I
don't know if its ever reported
I was doing a fresh installation of foreman in debian squeeze. But it
was failing during post-installation.

After running it in debug mode, it looks that “make” command is not
installed, so after installing make and build-essential did resolved it.
But it took a lot more time to figure this out.

I would request foreman-dev to have a build-essential added as a
dependencies package when installing foreman, So it should get installed
by itself rather then someone figuring out by themself
