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.
