busybox 1.25.1: remove: can't open 'share/busybox_applets.lst': No such file or directory

Package: busybox (1.25.1)
- expected behavior: no error on removal
- actual behavior: error on remove
# opkg remove busybox --force-removal-of-essential-packages
Removing essential package busybox under your coercion.
If your system breaks, you get to keep both pieces
Removing package busybox from root...
cat: can't open 'share/busybox_applets.lst': No such file or directory
# updatedb && locate /busybox_applets.lst
<no output>
Platform: Asus RT-N56U padavan 099, 3.4.113
This is normal. Some packages from entware-3x use busybox from Entware-3x. We do not recommend to remove it.
If you prefer some bysybox applet from your firmware, just make a link from /opt/[s]bin/ to busybox from firmware.
@zyxmon On a clean entware installation opkg list-installed | grep busybox doesn't output any result, does it?
This is a almost clean entware-3x installtion on Padavans firmware (first command is to show it)
/opt/home/admin # ls /sbin/*.sh
/sbin/automount.sh /sbin/hddtune.sh /sbin/reset_ss.sh
/sbin/dev_init.sh /sbin/mtd_storage.sh /sbin/spindown.sh
/opt/home/admin # opkg list-installed

Entware installation and usage can be discussed somewhere else, not here. I can suggest http://forums.zyxmon.org/index.php as a place for such discussions. You can suggest another forum. Please post your steps and entware installation logs. My guess - you have installed entware-ng, not entware-3x.
I as far as I know, I have installed Entware-ng-3x and am still in the understanding that this repo here is Entware-ng-3x, not entware-ng neither entware-3x.
@ProBackup-nl: FYI Entware-3x installation is rather tricky on Padavan firmware. It is described on the forum in Russian (the link is in my post). Please use forums for further discussions.
@zyxmon Thanks for the forum link, I don't understand any Russian.
Where can I find more information regarding the trick for Entware-3x on Padavan firmware (in English, German, or Dutch).
Thanks for the google translate link.
These requirements are certainly met by firmware Padavana,
What I can remember is that I did an standard _std install to maintain a single user base.
I double checked that the padavan firmware its kernel is 3.4.112 or greater (3.4.113).
After scanning thru the 13 pages of the translated forum post, I still haven't found the tricky part for padavan firmware in combination with entware-ng-3x.
The translation point to the post with instructions. Press + to expand them for Padavan firmware.
In Padavan's firmware there is a built-in script that installs
Entware-ng. We need it not to work to installEntware-3xmanually.
Before installation, make sure that the "USB Applications> General Settings" tab on the web tab of the drop-down list "Allow Optware to Start?" "No" was selected. Prepare the media according to the instructions formatting the USB disk drive on the router with Padavan firmware until (not including) section "Using Entware".
After the media with the correct file system (ext2/ext3/ext4) is connected to the router and mounted, create the
/opt/binfolder and the/opt/bin/opkgfile on it. If, as in the article above, the label of the sda1 section is "Main":
# mkdir -p /media/Main/opt/bin;touch /media/Main/opt/bin/opkgThis will block the installation of
Entware-ng. After that, "enable Entware" in the web interface ("USB Applications> General Settings> Enable Optware? - Entware"). We reboot the router, check (mountcommand), that it is mounted in/opt.
/opt/home/admin # mount | grep /opt
/dev/sda1 on /opt type ext4 (rw,noatime,data=ordered)
After that, delete the file created by the firmware scripts:
# rm /opt/etc/profileThis is recommended for unification with Entware-3x installations on other devices. The action is not mandatory.
We can install Entware. For a standard installation:
# wget -O - http://entware-3x.zyxmon.org/binaries/mipsel/installer/install_std.sh | /bin/sh
To install the recommended alternative:
# wget -O - http://entware-3x.zyxmon.org/binaries/mipsel/installer/install_alt.sh | /bin/sh
In case you used an alternative, it is recommended to install ssh serveropenssh(read the brief instructions below "Installing openssh (Entware)"). Restart the router, then use port 2222 for ssh,rootlogin, password12345. You can change the password after login, add additional users.
Set the time zone for your region (see the FAQ in the topic). For Amsterdam it is done this way:
# ln -sf /opt/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Amsterdam /opt/etc/localtime
The installation is complete.
After reading the Google translated instructions, and:
ls -la /opt/bin/opkg
-rwxrwxrwx 1 admin root 471924 Apr 28 2016 /opt/bin/opkg
It looks that Padavan firmware has overwritten the 138836 bytes and 20-Feb-2017 05:26 dated entware-3x version of opkg.
Now I do understand tricky. (let me give some thoughts on how to clean up this mess)
@zyxmon Please import the created forked Entware-ng-3x wiki page "Install on Padavan" in the main branch.
For crontab it seems best to use Padavan firmware its crontab, thus:
rm /opt/bin/crontab
