It looks like conky didn't copy across properly from the 3.x repo - it should be OK now

Conky depends on wireless and kernel modules, and therefore was intentionally left out during the manual one by one review and copying to 4.x.  There are surely still many others that are in the same category, better to have started 4.x off smaller without broken dependency chains and then build up than to start broken and then try to weed out the issues.

... Conky depends on wireless and kernel modules ...

Good point!! Now I recall that I found that rather annoying that for a system without a wireless adaptor still the 'wireless_tools.tcz' and 'wireless-KERNEL.tcz' extensions are getting installed.

Therefore I wonder whether it would make sense to leave the "wireless inclusive" case covered by the more hefty 'conky_plus.tcz' extension and re-build a more nimble 'conky.tcz' without "--enable-wlan".

Maybe better to separate libiw out of wireless-tools since that's what conky depends on?

conky works now thx 

Also without wireless it seems, have configured it to show lan ip or wlan if able, not having a physical wlan doesn't appear to phase it at all..

I also vote to separate the library  :P

wireless_tools split into wireless_tools and libiw
