and I'm down to my last couple.  I found a conflict between sysvinit and
util-linux that I have no idea how to handle and I'm looking for some
help.  I'm using sysvinit for init and opkg for package management.

says util-linux has that file.  However, I don't see anything in the
util-linux recipe that mentions lastb.  I don't know how this softlink is
getting created or how util-linux is the owner.

Look for this file in your build  tree it should be clear then who provides
it.
