I had a bit of an issue with my NSLU2 tonight. I wasn’t able to install coreutils. It was complaining that busybox-links was installed, and it was clashing. However, I didn’t have it installed, and no amount of ipkg remove busybox-links, or ipkg -force-overwrite install coreutils was working.

Then I came across Slugging, which shows how to deal with this exact problem: remove the busybox and busybox-links stanzas from the file /usr/lib/ipkg/status.

Thanks, z0mbi3. Even though I hate l33tsp33k.
