Please read the first post of this thread; I could copy-paste it into this thread, but a pointer is more practical I think

About the warning: whilst I haven't had a single report of a failing installation (out of a lot of downloads, according to this), it does seem fair to me to warn users about what the installation does, which is in fact overwriting an essential binary.

Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/busybox-power_1.18.5power1_armel.deb
E: Sub process /scratchbox/devkits/debian-etch/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I'll look into this; I haven't tried installing busybox-power in Scratchbox before, as I do all testing on the device itself
Seems like I have to implement some checks to detect the current environment, and use different codepaths for them in the shell scripts. Thanks for spotting the failing installation in the SDK environment

By the way, if you're going to use the SDK as a development platform for YAMAS: do note that the SDK doesn't match Maemo 100%; e.g. Scratchbox has GNU grep and egrep, whilst these are provided by BusyBox in Maemo. In fact, BusyBox isn't even installed by default in Scratchbox. I'm sure there are quite a few more of these kind of differences.
