Summary: 0004818: Depends on /bin/bash, but can't guarantee it exists
Description: On a core install, there's no /bin/bash. gunzip depends on it, and when it's absent, gunzip fails.

/opt/csw/bin/gunzip is a shell script which either needs to use /bin/sh, or /opt/csw/bin/bash and depend on CSWbash

After careful consideration OpenCSW packages against "full", not "core". Having dependencies to all stuff that is not in core is contraproductive to minimizing footprint.
