Description:
It seems that some packages, like `grep`, will remove packages necessary for xbps-src's operation like `chroot-grep`, and then get removed after a successful build.

Should these packages be prevented from installation? or maybe this could be prevented by re-installing these after dependencies are removed from the chroot?

Comment:
I have a WIP patchset in my local tree to move those `chroot-*` pkgs binaries to `/usr/libexec/xbps-src/` and appends them to `$PATH`, which will allow they co-exists, however, I suspect that move would break those build systems that expect `/bin/grep` horribly. Or worse, change build artifacts shebang from `/bin/grep` to `/usr/libexec/xbps-src/grep` and likewise.

Comment:
It looks like xbps bug that grep can replace chroot-grep in first place.

`base-chroot` depends on exactly `chroot-grep`, and after `xbps-install grep`, `xbps-pkgdb base-chroot` reports `ERROR: base-chroot: dependency not satisfied: chroot-grep>=0`.

Comment:
`pnc` (libphonenumber command-line tool) [has a GNU AWK extension](https://git.sr.ht/~anjan/pnc/tree/master/item/CMakeLists.txt#L74) that doesn't build without `gawkapi.h`, and well it's not provided with `chroot-gawk`...
```
$ xlocate /gawkapi.h
gawk-5.1.1_1  /usr/include/gawkapi.h
```
So it really would be great to be able to include `gawk` in `(host)makedepends` without that destroying `masterdir`s.
