PS off-topic rant I just updated and a package named busybox came up. Since I didn't know what it was I went into the page and its most recent revision of 1/2017 seemed to be 3 years ahead of the testing/unstable version that we just updated now! And this is very basic common stuff like cp and fdisk ...... How conservative is our system? Wowww!
busybox is a suite of tiny cut-down programs packed into a single executable to save space. Most Debian installations get their cp from coreutils and their fdisk from util-linux.
