Description

It seems that some packages, like grep, will remove packages necessary for xbps-src's operation like chroot-grep when added to hostmake/make/checkdepends, 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?
