Why not check in xterm where said link is supposed to be pointing to?

ls -l shows a links path
its broken becasue:
/usr/bin/[[ -> [
/usr/bin/[ -> /bin/busybox
This last one appears to be missing on your setup

to put back as root
ln -s /bin/busybox /usr/bin/[
should do the trick

Hi -L-,
just a quick question:
Is this problem of mine somehow related with download program catalogue? Am asking you this cause today when I was going to download something I got a message saying that Maemo Extras-Testing catalogue could not be updated. So I removed the catalogue and put it back again and now the phone can update even from this catalogue. Of course that folder in usr/bin still remains even after I corrected the Extras-Testing catalogue.

Also, I guess am doing something wrong so can you be kind and say exactly where to type in the line...I tried in xterm like this but with no result:

sudo gainroot
Is -I /bin/busybox/usr/bin/[

Thanks
