Hi there. I am trying to install busybox, but l keep getting the error 'unable to install.'
I have the log entries:


-----
Installing dropbear-client 0.49-1mh3
(Reading database ... 18689 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking dropbear-client (from .../dropbear-client_0.49-1mh3_armel.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/dropbear-client_0.49-1mh3_armel.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/scp', which is also in package openssh-common
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/dropbear-client_0.49-1mh3_armel.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

any ideas on fixing this?
thanks!

Busybox is already installed by default. But it looks like you are trying to install Dropbear anyways. The error you are getting is because you already have openssh installed which has overlapping commands. You don't need both, as they serve the same purpose, so you'll have to pick one.

Sorry, and thank you. I was tired last night and obviously should have read what I typed.

Can anyone explain the difference between the SSH and dropbear in terms of functionality?

thanx
