=== *Description* ============================================================
Category

Description
    This bug was originally filed in the defect.opensolaris.org bugzilla as bug 
#15263 (http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=15263)
The original description, from Rainer Orth <<email address omitted>> was:
    I don't know if you can file IPS related bugs via
    bugs.opensolaris.org yet, so I'm trying here instead:
     
    In snv_127, running a minimized build, root_archive initially
    failed:
     
    # root_archive unpack boot_archive.corrupt /var/tmp/corrupt
    /usr/sbin/root_archive[640]: gzcat: not found [No such file or directory]
    unknown_fstyp (no matches)
    invalid root archive
     
    Even in snv_134, system/kernel still lacks the necessary
    dependency on compress/gzip.
This also appears to still be the case with current ON bits.  Note that 
root_archive is actually delivered by SUNWcs (system/kernel only delivers the 
/boot/solaris/bin/root_archive symlink)
Frequency
    Always
Regression
    no
Steps to Reproduce
    See description
Expected Result
    Installation of SUNWcs installs compress/gzip, as needed by root_archive.
Actual Result
    See description.

=== *Public Comments* ========================================================
It would be better to record a dependency in the manifest from 
/usr/sbin/root_archive to gzcat and
let the packaging dependency resolution phase handle the lookup.  That way when 
things get re-factored,
we've recorded the actual dependency so the package names get looked up 
correctly.
