[OpenWrt-Users] procps files conflict with busybox

[Brian J. Murrell]

I just tried to install procps on my kamikaze system and got:

# ipkg install /tmp/procps_3.2.7-1_mipsel.ipk 
Installing procps (3.2.7-1) to root...
An error ocurred, return value: 4.
Collected errors:
Package procps wants to install file /usr/bin/free
	But that file is already provided by package busybox
Package procps wants to install file /usr/bin/pgrep
	But that file is already provided by package busybox
Package procps wants to install file /usr/bin/pkill
	But that file is already provided by package busybox
Package procps wants to install file /usr/bin/top
	But that file is already provided by package busybox
Cannot find package procps.
Check the spelling or perhaps run 'ipkg update'

I completely understand the problem.  I'm wondering what the solution is
though.  Debian derived systems use the "alternatives" package for this
sort of thing.

Thots?
