Fwiw, I ran into trouble with things busybox provides by default, but
where I've add packages with fuller versions.  In my case it is
procps-ng from the packages feed.  In order to stop it complaining, I
need to de-select the conflicting busybox options.  What I've done
instead, locally, is just revert this commit:

Hopefully, nothing significant breaks as a result.
