Hello,
I have been using busybox for some time now, for an ARM based platform.
I was very pleased when I tried the 1.00preX series, with all the new
utilities and daemons.
I found out that the ifupdown in busybox does not behave exaclty like
the debian version. Then the pre-up script fails, the interface is
getting up. Also when the post-up script fails the return value is
ignored. Actually everything is always run and the return value is
always true. I looked at the original implementation from debian and
fixed the busybox version to do the same. A patch is attached if anyone
is interested.
it will properly fall back to /proc/mounts when /etc/filesystems
is missing, allowing mount to guess the correct fs type when a
fs type is not explicitly specified.

init_archive_deb_data()
We want to filter for data.tar.* in the AR file not the TAR
file, else we get nothing.
all_control_list()
Make the 'extensions' array of control file names a global so it
can be used in unpack_package as well. Name the global
all_control_files. Don't hard code the length of
all_control_files but instead used sizeof.
unpack_package()
Only unpack the control files we are interested in (from
all_control_files). Extract the data.tar.gz into / rather than
the current directory.
dpkg_main()
Configure packages in a second pass so all the packages being
installed are unpacked before configuring.
Some purely cosmetic changes:
header
update list of differences since two of them are no longer true.
The .control file is no longer stored as a result of this patch
-- it was redundant since the info is in status. New packages
appear to be added to the end of the status file now rather than
the start.
remove_package()
Make message printing optional, so we can avoid a redundant
message when replacing/upgrading a package. When we do print
stuff then include the version number.
purge_package()
Print "Purging xxx (yyy) ..." message like the other actions.
configure_package()
Add "..." to "Setting up" message to be consistent with other
actions.
