            Bug ID: 1049503
           Summary: R-base spec file is missing BuildRequires for zip and
                    unzip
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed
           Version: Current
          Hardware: All
                OS: Other

Build Identifier: 

Currently, attempting to install packages in R will error if the source is a
zip file (very common).  R-base should depend on `zip` and `unzip` utilities.

When R is built, if it notices the zip and unzip commands are in the PATH it
sets the following environment variables for the R interpreter: R_UNZIPCMD and
R_ZIPCMD

Since R-base does not depend on `zip` and `unzip`, R_UNZIPCMD and R_ZIPCMD are
never set and thus packages fail to install.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
> R
> install.packages("devtools")
> devtools::install_github("rstudio/rsconnect")
Downloading GitHub repo rstudio/rsconnect@master
from URL https://api.github.com/repos/rstudio/rsconnect/zipball/master
Installation failed: error in running command

Actual Results:  
R fails to install the package because it fails to find the `unzip` utility

Expected Results:  
It should install the package

Workaround:
- install `zip`
- install `unzip`
- set the R_UNZIPCMD and R_ZIPCMD to values in ~/.Renviron fixes the issue

> cat ~/.Renviron
R_UNZIPCMD=/usr/bin/unzip
R_ZIPCMD=/usr/bin/zip
