Details

Updated busybox packages that address an issue are now available.

Busybox is a single binary which includes versions of a large number of
system commands, including a shell. This package can be useful for
recovering from certain types of system failures.

BusyBox did not support the "-Z" option in ps and id commands (the output
was broken). This updated version presents the right output.

All users of busybox are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain a patch to resolve this issue.
