Comment:

 The depspec `path:gnutar:gnutar` is not valid because the middle component
 needs to be a path. Base should probably give a better error in this case,
 but regardless, the port should most likely be using a port: or bin:
 depspec anyway (depending on whether the system gnutar is acceptable). If
 there were multiple ports that could provide the gnutar executable, then
 the appropriate depspec would be `path:bin/gnutar:gnutar`.
