cannot install package botbrew-core

when I install botbrew, it was reported that error information what's in the title, and I found the error "postinst: tr not found", so, I run ln -s busybox tr myself, it's works well now.

The BotBrew seed package does ship /bin/busybox and a symlink /usr/lib/busybox/tr to it; and PATH usually includes /usr/lib/busybox. Is this somehow not the case in your setup?

[CzBiX]

my busybox is in /system/bin/ and I have not found /usr/lib/busybox/ even /usr/ in my phone. busybox usually be put in the /system/bin/, like CM or some apps that can get root for device. except user install busybox himself with the Busybox Install Apps. why not just exec busybox tr ... in shell to do that. busybox can be in the PATH or download by BotBrew.

It would be /data/botbrew-basil/usr/lib/busybox if you bootstrapped to the default path of /data/botbrew-basil. And busybox itself would be /data/botbrew-basil/bin/busybox. So the actual paths depend on where you selected to bootstrap BotBrew, but both locations should be accessible via PATH.

Since we cannot assume that the user has a working busybox, we always bring our own. And we set up the appropriate symlinks and PATH to make it work. So something might have gone awry right there.

so, how about use tr directly with busybox tr, and without create symlinks for tr.

[jyio]

It's a good suggestion, but I'm not sure if that fixes the actual problem. For busybox tr to work, busybox must be available via PATH. And if busybox is available, then so should the tr symlink. So, should we use the full path /bin/busybox? I'm thinking that the code in jni/init/init.c isn't setting PATH correctly.

we cannot assume that the user has a working busybox and tr, so use the full path to avoid unexpected issues.
