Package: busybox
Version: 1:1.22.0-15
Severity: important
Tags: newcomer

Dear Maintainer,

When installing busybox's symlink readlink gets installed (without checking)
into /usr/bin/readlink. Some packages require readlink support via debconf (for
example the flash-kernel package) but busybox's readlink does not offer the -m
option. Coreutils however, a requirement for debian and its tools (debconf),
also supplies readlink. With both coreutils and busybox installed however, the
busybox variant gets used before the coreutils variant causing package
failures.

A quick fix/workaround:
if [ -f /bin/readlink ]; then
        unlink /usr/bin/readlink
fi

This on armhf jessie variant using busybox 1:1.22.0-9+deb8u1.
