Package: busybox Version: 1:1.01-1 Severity: normal This package installs the BusyBox binary but does not install symlinks for any of the supported utilities. You can use /bin/busybox --install to install BusyBox to the current directory (you do not want to do this in / on your Debian system!). This implies that busybox --install will install links to the current directory and also that it might replace exsiting prgrams on disk with its symlinks. Neither is true. If I run busybox --install in /tmp: link("/bin/busybox", "/usr/bin/which") = -1 EEXIST (File exists) link("/bin/busybox", "/usr/bin/who") = -1 EEXIST (File exists) link("/bin/busybox", "/usr/bin/whoami") = -1 EEXIST (File exists) link("/bin/busybox", "/usr/bin/xargs") = -1 EEXIST (File exists) link("/bin/busybox", "/usr/bin/yes") = -1 EEXIST (File exists) link("/bin/busybox", "/bin/zcat") = -1 EEXIST (File exists) So it always makes links to the real path of programs and it fails if the programs exist. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.27 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages busybox depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an busybox recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- see shy jo
