>Description:
all packages depend on gzip.  gzip needs to apply its patches to build.  gpatch doesn't exist as part of the bootstrap.  gpatch cannot be built without gzip in /usr/pkg/bin.
>How-To-Repeat:
bootstrap pkgsrc on solaris and try to build anything.
>Fix:
gpatch should *really* be part of the bootstrap.
