    OlegFW: Upgrade busybox

    hi all,

    i want to upgrade the busybox.
    oleg has 1.1.3 built in. This version e.g. does not know 'df -h'
    Optware has 1.1.3-3. This version knows 'df -h'

    I installed busybox-base via IPKG. So far so good.

    Installing busybox-links results in
    Code:
    [admin@blechbuechse /]$ ipkg install busybox-links
    Installing busybox-links (1.1.3-3) to /opt/...
    Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable/busybox-links_1.1.3-3_mipsel.ipk
    An error ocurred, return value: 9.
    Collected errors:
    Package busybox-links wants to install file /opt/bin/cmp
            But that file is already provided by package diffutils
    Package busybox-links wants to install file /opt/bin/xargs
            But that file is already provided by package findutils
    Package busybox-links wants to install file /opt/bin/bzcat
            But that file is already provided by package bzip2
    Package busybox-links wants to install file /opt/bin/find
            But that file is already provided by package findutils
    Package busybox-links wants to install file /opt/bin/free
            But that file is already provided by package procps
    Package busybox-links wants to install file /opt/bin/reset
            But that file is already provided by package ncurses
    Package busybox-links wants to install file /opt/bin/clear
            But that file is already provided by package ncurses
    Package busybox-links wants to install file /opt/bin/top
            But that file is already provided by package procps
    Package busybox-links wants to install file /opt/bin/ps
            But that file is already provided by package procps
    [admin@blechbuechse /]$
    Ok. there is a conflict with previous installed packages.

    The manual way for df:
    Code:
    ln -s /opt/bin/busybox /opt/bin/df
    This should work, because the path in /etc/profile is:
    export PATH=/opt/sbin:/opt/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
    But executing df -h still results in
    [admin@blechbuechse /]$ df -h
    df: illegal option -- h
    BusyBox v1.1.3 (2006.06.29-17:07+0000) multi-call binary

    Usage: df [-k] [FILESYSTEM ...]
    While this works:
    [admin@blechbuechse /]$ /opt/bin/df -h
    Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
    /dev/root 2.9M 2.9M 0 100% /
    /dev/discs/disc0/part2 961.6M 125.7M 787.1M 14% /opt
    /dev/discs/disc0/part3 72.0G 45.2G 23.1G 66% /tmp/harddisk
    Question: What did i do wrong?

    Thanks
    wengi

    PS: It should work regarding to http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/BusyBox
