 If you use the configure with the `--with-depends` option (needed on debian
 10), you will need the following dependencies:
 
-- the [curl](https://curl.haxx.se/) command line utility
-- the [wget](https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/) command line utility
+- the [curl](https://curl.haxx.se/) command line utility. It can be replaced by

+- the [wget](https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/) command line utility. Can be
+  replaced by curl command line utility.
 - the [git](https://git-scm.com/) command line utility
+- the [cmake](https://cmake.org/download/) command line utility (to be deleted
+  when use of json-c is dropped)
 
 Note that because of the use of `curl` and `get`, building behind a proxy may
 be challenging.
