[OE-core] Busybox post install

[Michael Gloff]

I am seeing with the latest in Sumo/Master that the busybox post install is
failing to create all of the applet symlinks if there is already a package
installed from another provider during do_rootfs. 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?
