Does it? For Bookworm (12) and Trixie (13) it is listed as "optional": user@debian:~$ apt show busybox Package: busybox Version: 1:1.37.0-6+b9 Priority: optional > And any lose is functionality if I remove it? Just try :-) No, seriously: you can, for example, do an "apt-get -s purge busybox" to see what packages would go away with it. May be it was installed as a dependency of a package you would like to keep... (Option -s means "simulate", so nothing bad happens). Cheers -- t
