When enabling the ptest to build a per recipe image, Richard found that the busybox ptest somehow depended on coreutils. This is clearly not sensible but to get the higher level task of having seperate ptest images, this was merged. This bug is to track figuring out why coretuils is needed and remove the dependency.
commit that should be 'fixed': https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=658c5ed34e279983b1827abfe4e439524b72d4a9
The test says this: # NB: this fails if /bin/false is a busybox symlink: # busybox looks at argv[0] and says "qwerty: applet not found" :eyeroll:
Will post a fix shortly.
