Package: playonlinux
Version: 4.2.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

after an update to playonlinux version 4.2.1-1, the program does
not start any more but throws the following error message:

"PlayOnLinux cannot find nc (from Netcat)
You need to install it to continue"

Installation of the package 'netcat' solved the problem for me.

An added dependency on 'netcat' to the playonlinux
package should resolve this bug.

Thanks a lot!
