[OE-core] [PATCH 0/2] busybox updating

[Andrej Valek]

I have unpacked the rpm package over command "rpm -qp --scripts
busybox-1.27.2-r0.i586.rpm" and links to /bin/sh looks good for me.

update-alternatives --install /bin/sh sh /bin/busybox.nosuid 50

You have right, there was a mistake. These applets are disabled in
defconfig, so they are not installed.

Only lzcat, xzcat and nproc are new.
