bunzip2 is forcefully selected by some packages no matter if busybox already provides it
Comment 1 Peter Korsgaard 2011-05-12 13:07:49 UTC 
What packages are you referring to exactly? Those packages normally select bzip2 because they need the libz2 library, not because they call the bzip2/bunzip2 programs.
Comment 2 Thomas Petazzoni 2011-05-12 16:21:17 UTC 
Maybe the bzip2 package should provide a separate option for the installation of bzip2 tools, so that even if packages depends on bzip2 library are selected, the bzip2 tools are not necessarily installed.

No reply from the bug reporter since several months, and we don't see where the problem is. Closing the bug.
