4 Hello,
5
6 I did a reinstall recently and during the process I noticed something
7 that might be classed as a bug, or atleast as an omission, from
8 dependency checking.
9
10 I was trying to install a package which arived zipped, but unzip was not
11 installed on the system and it failed. Is it possible to make portage
12 check that the tools it needs to do it's thang are available and install
13 them if not?
14
15 I immediately spotted the problem and emerged unzip, but a newer user
16 might not, and it's not really something that should be their problem to
17 deal with anyway, is it?
18
19 Cheers,
20
