The bash upgrade discovered that your /bin/sh link points to busybox.
As bash for Debian is destined to provide a working /bin/sh (pointing to
/bin/bash) your link will be overwritten by a default link.

If you don't want further upgrades to overwrite your customization, please
read /usr/share/doc/bash/README.Debian.gz for a more permanent solution.

it means you don't have a dependencies issue as all those packages are already present in your system

Ok prey isn't working though, tried to mess with the settings in prey homepage but nothing.

Maybe check the prey log in /var/log? Also delete the device from the homepage and set up the device again from prey_config?

how do i check the prey log?

either /var/log/prey.log or /var/log/prey2.log

You could also post it here for student4life to help but just remove your confidential data like user, password etc from it
