[OE-core] Sumo/Master Busybox post install

[Michael Gloff]

I am seeing with the latest in Sumo/Master that the busybox post install
with ipk packages is failing to create all of the applet symlinks if there
is already a package installed from another provider. This can be seen, for
example, when enabling lsattr applet and having e2fsprogs installed into an
image.

The error is:
update-alternatives: Error: not linking
/home/developer/oe-test/build_master/tmp/work/somimx6-emac-linux-gnueabi/emac-image/1.0-r0/rootfs/usr/bin/lsattr
to /usr/bin/busybox.nosuid since
/home/developer/oe-test/build_master/tmp/work/somimx6-emac-linux-gnueabi/emac-image/1.0-r0/rootfs/usr/bin/lsattr
exists and is not a link

In Rocko and before, this error is present, but the script continues
creating the rest of the symlinks and exits with success.

Does anyone have any idea why the failure is now causing the script to stop
executing?
