Bug #2682
closedpython-yaml Not Listed As Ubuntu Prerequisite
Description
Suricata-Update requires python-yaml, which is not covered in the current source-code Suricata or Suricata-Update install documentation, though it seems to be handled automatically if using the apt-get install.

Likely fixed with: https://github.com/OISF/suricata-update/pull/65, unclear on update schedule for integrated Suricata-Update.

Marking as rejected as its more of a duplicate of 2667.
Of note, Suricata's own ./configure script will now have a check for python-yaml as well.
Installs with PIP now have the proper metadata to install python-yaml.

The python-yaml dependency for Ubuntu is still not listed in the user guide here https://suricata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html AFAICS, I think it would be good to add it there.

While in there, I wonder if we should put Rust in the recommended dependencies as well?
