Thanks Ken, I'm still trying to ITP wget2, get https working, and split into sub-packages. Working with upstream, but their suggested configure.ac patch does seem to lack some consistency checking, as I'm trying to build explicitly --without-lzip to avoid this issue. I'll report back upstream, and pick parts of their patch to selectively apply, to avoid the above breakage and others. -- Take care.
