Source: libarchive Version: 3.4.3-2 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: rebootstrap
libarchive participates in dependency loops relevant to architecture bootstrap. Instead of looking into such a difficult problem, I looked into easily droppable dependencies and stumbled into sharutils. It is definitely unused when building with tests disabled. I haven't found a real use in tests, but I'm not 100% sure that there is none. I'm attaching a patch to annotate it <!nocheck>. Please consider applying it or dropping the sharutils if you deem the latter correct. Helmut
