Hi @acuD1! I checked our scripts. We not installing that package directly. So if it existed somewhere in our images previously so that is the direct result of dependencies of other software. In result I want say that we won't add that package directly because you may install it in runtime in less than 12 seconds without any maintenance concerns.

@erik-bershel we should add it as it is pretty much basic package

[erik-bershel]

@acuD1 changing the plan. I'll add that package soon.

Nice !

Thank you. It is indeed a very conveniant package. I'm using it with tar for my heavy artifacts.
