Summary:                    bunzip2 and gzip don't honor the force option -f
Description: 

The -f option while parced has no effect on the tool

checking standard bunzip2 on my ubuntu system ... -f will remove the file
before unpacking.  I know the busybox code says this is not standard...
but, why give a -f option if it's not really usable?


I am attaching a patch from my local repository based on busybox 1.9.0

I know your up to 1.10 or so but.... the bug still exists.

Add a patch file which has a little better fix in it.

How do I go about getting this into busybox?

Do I need to do anything else?
