Hi folks,

I read in https://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/fixes.html#shell-scripts:

When using REPLACE_BASH, don't forget to add bash to USE_TOOLS.


Is there a reason why bash is not automatically added to USE_TOOLS if a REPLACE_BASH is declared?

The easiest answer: because the system can't know if it is only abuild-time or a full runtime dependency.
