Description Philip Lorenz 2015-01-21 17:05:05 UTC 
busybox installs the "readprofile" symlink to ${sbindir} while util-linux installs it to ${base_sbindir}. 

When installing both packages, "update-alternatives" fails with the following output:

update-alternatives: Error: cannot register alternative readprofile to /usr/sbin/readprofile since it is already registered to /sbin/readprofile

This can be fixed by choosing the same alternative path for both packages.
