New comment by q66 on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/20935#issuecomment-614641214 Comment: Perl does *not* matter while bootstrapping, stop insisting that it does. I still don't see any reason to package both of them either, as @Johnnynator said it would require libarchive to be built against it and complicate everything. The "just in case" argument doesn't make any sense, *either of them* could mess up something and you have no way to know which.
