I have a strange situation on Leap 15.5

I am trying to install a number of packages (rpmbuild,
yast2-installation) and have a problem with gzip. Or more accurately
how is seems to be installed.

I have installed kmod, which in turn installs suse-module-tools. So far ok.

The problem is that kmod/suse-module-tools seems to want to install
busybox-gzip instead of the standard gzip package. That provides:

> rpm -ql busybox-gzip-1.35.0-150400.4.5.1.noarch
/bin/gunzip
/bin/gzip
/bin/zcat
/usr/bin/gunzip
/usr/bin/gzip
/usr/bin/uncompress
/usr/bin/zcat
/usr/bin/zgrep
/usr/bin/zless
/usr/bin/zmore

When I try to install one of the packages I need, I get this:

Problem: the to be installed
yast2-installation-4.5.17-150500.3.3.1.noarch requires 'gzip', but
this requirement cannot be provided
 not installable providers: gzip-1.10-150200.10.1.x86_64[Leap_15.5]
                  gzip-1.10-150200.10.1.x86_64[openSUSE_-_OSS]
Solution 1: deinstallation of busybox-gzip-1.35.0-150400.4.5.1.noarch
Solution 2: do not install yast2-installation-4.5.17-150500.3.3.1.noarch
Solution 3: break yast2-installation-4.5.17-150500.3.3.1.noarch by
ignoring some of its dependencies



kmod/suse-module-tools has blocked installing the standard gzip package:

Problem: the installed busybox-gzip-1.35.0-150400.4.5.1.noarch
conflicts with 'gzip' provided by the to be installed
gzip-1.10-150200.10.1.x86_64
Solution 1: deinstallation of busybox-gzip-1.35.0-150400.4.5.1.noarch
Solution 2: do not install gzip-1.10-150200.10.1.x86_64


Both kmod/suse-module-tools and are from:

Distribution: SUSE Linux Enterprise 15

I don't see that I am enabling any repos that should change this. And
even if I did, why is kmod/suse-module-tools using busybox?

Although I could probably work past this, I think it would mess up
when I next tried to do an update. And I am also trying to get this
all to work in a KIWI-generated OEM Leap 15.5 installer where it must
just work.

Anyone else see this dependency on busybox-gzip?

It's a show stopper re my KIWI build.
