 Severity:  normal           |    Keywords:  busybox gzip cpan

-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
 Since gzip is a symlinked command to busybox, and not the full gzip
 utility, the perl-module-cpan library often fails to unpack tarballs
 because the CPAN module is configured to use a --decompress flag to gzip,
 when the busybox version of gzip only supports the shorter -d flag
 equivalent.

 Either busybox needs to be changed to allow the full --decompress flag, or
 the perl-module-cpan package needs to be altered to use the shorter -d
 flag that *is* supported by the busybox gzip utility.
