I spotted this when tried to built a bare-bones/minimalistic Linux 
(FC13-based) version to be deployed on one of my machines (using 
kickstart files).

When I include the kernel and shorewall packages (with very little else) 
to be installed by yum/rpm, the bc package (providing Math functions to 
shorewall) is NOT included and neither is listed as a dependency 
necessary to run shorewall.

The shorewall starts and works perfectly well without this package, 
though when I try to execute 'shorewall iprange' I get an error from a 
library in /usr/share, which is caused by missing bc package. Once this 
package is installed the problem goes away!

I am using shorewall version 4.4.8. Don't know whether this is fixed in 
later versions?
