wget was never discussed because it was never
installed
in the first place. The reason I brought up netcat is
that yast2 depends on netcat, hence the decision
was to remove yast2 as well.
In my firm, security decides which packages stay, this
is our first installation.

What would interest me here is: Did they also demand to remove wget? wget is far more dangerous, as it can be used to download bad code to the server from remote.
Unfortunately, it's also used by yast for YOU. So, if you really want to break yast, de-install wget.
cheers, Rainer
