I have no idea about how the pieces are supposed to fit together with
pkgsrc on Linux. However, I think that NetBSD's gzip is able to
uncompress bzip2 files, while GNU gzip probably does not:

(thanks mrg@ for this, and I think it's much better this way)

So either:
- you should have BSD gzip installed, and have it in your PATH
environment variable *before* GNU gzip;
- or pkgsrc is really supposed to call bzip2, but this problem has gone
unnoticed.

Either way, you should be fine by simply installing NetBSD's
implementation of gzip.

HTH,
