I have issue to upgrade busybox to the latest:

$ uname -a

I am not sure if I should force install busybox-base...

$ sudo ipkg list busybox
busybox - 1.25.0-3 - A userland replacement for embedded systems.
busybox - 1.25.0-2

$ sudo ipkg list busybox-base
busybox-base - 1.25.0-2
busybox-base - 1.25.0-3 - A userland replacement for embedded systems.

Any advice? Thanks.

Yesterday same problem, today it works. And to my suprise, now the command pgrep included. Great thanks. :-)

I have issue to upgrade busybox to the latest:

Yeah, that's a known issue. The simple workaround is:

ipkg -force-depends remove busybox-base busybox
ipkg install busybox

Now a little explanation for why such error occurs. busybox package creates symlinks (using update-alternatives) to busybox binary for all built applets. The binary self is provided by busybox-base package, and hence busybox is set to depend on busybox-base of the same version. Unfortunately, when it comes to upgrading busybox packages, opkg (ipkg binary is opkg) isn't smart enough to update two packages at a time, thus tries to do it one by one, which leads to broken dependencies.

@alllexx88 I found out the issue was caused by busybox-links package, so I also have to use

ipkg -force-depends remove busybox-links

before re-install the new busybox package, now it's all sorted out.

Thanks.
