install/57593: xz is missing from the rescue set
>Number: 57593

System: NetBSD reapr.station.defora 9.3_STABLE NetBSD 9.3_STABLE (GENERIC) #0: Sun Mar 26 02:04:14 UTC 2023 mkrepro%mkrepro.NetBSD.org@localhost:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
On platforms where sets are distributed as xz files (amd64, sparc64, and
aarch64 AFAICT) there is no way to uncompress the sets from the tools
available in /rescue. I think this is quite inconvenient, especially
since gz is available there (as expected).
>How-To-Repeat:
Break the system on a NetBSD/amd64 host (eg by downgrading a -10
userland to a -9 userland) such that lib*.so point to the wrong place.
Try to uncompress a .tar.xz set with /rescue and fail.
>Fix:
I am not very familiar with that part of the system, but the following
patch did the trick for me:

Subject: [PATCH] distrib: add xz to the rescue set
This is useful on platforms where sets are distributed as xz files, when
something goes wrong (eg on amd64).
