Description kevinmbecause 2023-03-17 23:00:29 UTC
Commit 629b2dade9b24098d54d65727952205994f45eb2 causes app-emulation/virtualbox-7.0.4-r1 to use gtar instead of tar and that only exists as of app-arch/tar/tar-1.34-r2 which may not be updated at the time virtualbox is built.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge <app-arch/tar/tar-1.34-r2
2. emerge app-emulation/virtualbox
Actual Results:  
build fails with message:
kmk: gtar: Command not found

Expected Results:  
build completes

I can't fix this retroactively for 7.0.4, it's no longer in the tree.
