[Xastir] Xastir Map Chooser and wget

[Michael Curry]

Hi All,

Newbie here, just installed Xastir 1.9.2-2.1 (via apt-get) on a Debian 5.0.3
system, and am having no luck getting any map other than the minimal
worldhi.map to display. Any selection from the chooser other than that map
results in the diagnostic:

libcurl or 'wget' not installed.  Can't download file

even though, on my system:

% find / -name wget
/usr/bin/wget

and:

%ldd -v /usr/bin/xastir
...
libcurl-gnutls.so.4 => /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4 (0xb6649000)
...
libcurl-gnutls.so.4 (CURL_GNUTLS_3) => /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4
...
    /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4:
        librt.so.1 (GLIBC_2.2) => /lib/i686/cmov/librt.so.1
        Libgssapi_krb5.so.2 (gssapi_krb5_2_MIT) =>
/usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2
        liblber-2.4.so.2 (OPENLDAP_2.4_2) => /usr/lib/liblber-2.4.so.2
        libldap_r-2.4.so.2 (OPENLDAP_2.4_2) => /usr/lib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2
        libgnutls.so.26 (GNUTLS_1_4) => /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.26
        libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.1.3) => /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
        libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.3.4) => /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
        libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.3) => /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
        libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.2) => /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
        libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.1) => /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
        libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.0) => /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6

So, both are installed, and the dynamic linker is able to resolve the
dependency.

What else do I need to do?
