Description Vsevolod Kozlov 2008-02-20 12:38:23 UTC 
Line 2 of the /bin/gunzip script mentions /usr/bin, while the gzip utilities are in /bin. If /bin is not in PATH already, /bin/gunzip will fail to execute the real gzip.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. PATH='' /bin/gunzip
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
/bin/gunzip: line 3: exec: gzip: not found

Expected Results:  
gzip called with appropriate parameters
