Created attachment 460998 [details, diff] Add app-arch/gzip to RDEPEND sys-apps/kbd requires gzip at runtime to unpack the keyboard maps. On embedded profiles, where only 'busybox' is in @system, and also on other profiles where base is not pulled in, a runtime failure is observed: * Setting keyboard mode [UTF-8] ... [ ok ] * Loading key mappings [us] ... sh: gzip: command not found sh: gzip: command not found [ ok ] And indeed, running the command manually: tom ~ # loadkeys -q windowkeys us sh: gzip: command not found sh: gzip: command not found This can also affect merge order during bootstrapping. Devmanual says: "However, packages which are included in the system target, or are dependencies of system target packages, should generally include a complete dependency list (excluding bootstrap packages). This makes emerge -e system possible when installing from a stage 1 or stage 2 tarball." Attached patch does fix this.
