tness (see #995833). Yes, we probably do want to do that. I was going to vimdiff the configs to see what we might need to change and harmonise between them. And thanks for pointing out CONFIG_DESKTOP, though, I wasn't aware of it. Cheers, Chris -- Chris Boot bo...@debian.org

2018-12-07 Thread Chris Boot
rge/reinstall could well fix it, just double-check you haven't ended up with *both* /bin/busybox and /usr/bin/busybox. You should have only the former and should be able to safely remove /usr/bin/busybox, assuming /bin/busybox is not a symlink anymore. Best regards, Chris -- Chris Boot bo...@debian.org

C library, as broken. To facilitate this busybox-static always prefers to run its own applets, including dpkg, rather than the system-supplied binaries; if your system is sufficiently broken that you are running busybox ash, it's a safe assumption that your system tools are also hosed. Th

e from Denys about this first but I don't have any particular objection to patching this for Debian; I just want to understand better why this was done upstream before simply reverting it. We also have a new upstream release of busybox to push into unstable, so it's tempting to roll this tweak in with that.
