Description

Maintainer: @wvdakker
Environment: OpenWRT 21.02.1

Description:
Shorewall needs perl modules Sys::Hostname and sort. These are included in packages perlbase-sys and perlbase-sort respectively. I think those two packages should be listed as dependencies and should be installed automatically with shorewall.
