It's just a warning.... you don't need to fix it.
We're working on a fix for that right now.. the bashbug file is a shell script
that adds /usr/bin to the path. This causes the QA warning to hit and complain
that there may be references to /usr/bin items in the script.
The warning is because things in /bin are assumed to be required for booting,
and you may boot w/o /usr being mounted.. causing a potential problem. I can't
see why bashbug would ever be used for booting, so this shouldn't be a problem.
Right now, I expect we're going to "fix" the problem with a two step patch..
The first being to move bashbug from base_bindir to bindir, and the second to
split it into a new package so that it's not always installed.. (it's only 7k
or so.. but why even install it on an embedded system unless it's really needed.)
