Slugging

Para instalar o pacote procps no meu NSLU2 Unslung tive de lutar um pouco contra ele. Ele teimava que o pacote colidia com o busybox-links e eu tinha a certeza que não tinha nenhum busybox instalado (sim, corri algumas vezes o ipkg remove busybox e o ipkg remove busybox-links). Tive de entrar mais à sapador e resolvi editar o ficheiro /usr/lib/ipkg/status e apagar as entradas que referiam o busybox e o busybox-links. Depois disto, instalou correctamente e sem problemas…go figure! Agora já tenho um top de jeito

To install procps on my NSLU2 Unslung I had to wrestle it a bit. He was complaining that it conflicted with busybox-links and I had the absolute certainty that there were none of the busybox packages installed on the Slug (yes, I did run ipkg remove busybox and ipkg remove busybox-links a couple of times). I finally decided to hard tackle the problem and edit /usr/lib/ipkg/status. vAfter deleting both busybox and busybox-links entries, it installed procps (and coreutils) correctly.

P.S. – I decided to post this in English so that a broader audience could benefit from this workaround.
