if you "apt-get remove bc" you get this error during configure of rtorrent
source package:
checking for curl >= 7.12.0... ./configure: line 13046: bc: command not
found 7.15.5
now look at the code in scripts/checks.m4:
ver=`curl-config --version | sed -e "s/libcurl //g"`
hex_ver=`curl-config --vernum | tr 'a-f' 'A-F'`
ok=`echo "ibase=16; if($hex_ver>=$check_hex) $hex_ver else 0" | bc`
if test x$ok != x0; then
my_cv_curl_vers="$ver"
AC_MSG_RESULT([$my_cv_curl_vers])
CURL_CFLAGS=`curl-config --cflags`
CURL_LIBS=`curl-config --libs`
else
AC_MSG_RESULT(FAILED)
AC_MSG_ERROR([$ver is too old. Need version $check or higher.])
fi
if bc isn't found then ok="" and the if test x$ok != x0 will pass... (this
is an upstream bug)
regardless of the libcurl version installed...
it seems best to just build-depend on bc... (or build-depend on a recent
enough libcurl and force the results of these tests).

p.s. bc is not installed on minimal systems, which is why i ran into this.
