I have this package installed:
ii  busybox-cvs-static           20040623-1          i386
Standalone rescue shell with tons of builtin utilities

It seems to be from "sarge" (Debian 3.1).
It is a very old installation which is upgraded from version to version.

I will remove this package and install a recent one ...
