Package: busybox Version: 1:1.01-2 Severity: normal If /sbin/init is a /bin/sh script using busybox sh, then when this script tries to run a program that in turn forks and runs a program in the PATH, running that program will fail. PATH is set by busybox sh to a default value, but it's not exported.
Take a look at bug #328729 for an example. Of course if busybox init is used, it sets PATH in a way that causes it to be available to child processes. So this doesn't affect most uses of busybox. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.27 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages busybox depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an busybox recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- see shy jo
