8 Looks like busybox has been added to the system profile:
9
10 /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/packages:*sys-apps/busybox
11
12 You could override this with:
13
14 echo "-*sys-apps/busybox" >>/etc/portage/profile/packages
15
16 But make sure you really know what you are doing if you do this. My
17 recommendation would be just to merge busybox with USE=-*. My amd64
18 system hasn't had any ill effects from having it installed.
