Description
/usr/bin/bc is missing:
bc: cannot find dc: No such file or directory
This is required by several scripts.
not required by anything we ship. you can copy it over yourself if you're adding custom code that needs it.
Well, it's unfortunately used in /usr/local/bin/ping_hosts.sh
https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/blob/master/src/usr/local/bin/ping_hosts.sh#L113 uses /usr/bin/bc and bc is a driver for bc.
See: https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/devel/usr.bin/bc/bc.y#L1192
So Jakub / Kill Bill / Doctor Notor is correct here, and this is a bug.
No idea why I can't take this out of "Duplicate or Not a bug" status. I've moved it to "Duplicate" (even though it isn't) because it is a bug.
Git blame says it was Renato in Dec 2013

Apparently nobody has noticed.
Just put both 'bc' and 'dc' on the build, and we'll be fine.
thanks guys for being so reactive.
