I think gzip, tar, unzip and bzip2 should be runtime dependencies of portage |
| 9 |
itself. Portage needs them to unpack almost all packages. It would be hell if |
| 10 |
we would need to add any of them as a dependency just because of the fact |
| 11 |
that the package is offered in a tarball of some sort (most packages are). |
