gzip pkg. install error

I accidentally used swaret to remove gzip when i wanted to remove grip. now when i do a instalpkgto get it back i get.

Code:

bash-2.05b# installpkg gzip-1.3.3-i386-2.tgz

Cannot install gzip-1.3.3-i386-2.tgz: package is corrupt (failed 

'gzip -l grip-3.2.0-i486-1yah.tgz')

bash-2.05b#

It look like the pkgtool is trying to use gzip to check the pkg and its not there. i know what i did was very stupid , can i get gzip back and save my installation?
