Subject: [PATCH] xz: use update-alternatives
Date: Sun,  6 May 2018 19:00:02 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180506230002.4606-1-allenwild93@gmail.com> (raw)

Installing xz and busybox together may cause conflicts for xz, xzcat,
unxz, and their lzma variants. In the default configuration, xzcat is
silently replaced with a symlink to busybox. If busybox is compiled with
CONFIG_XZ=y, its postinst fails during do_rootfs.

Using update-alternatives to xz handles these conflicts properly.
