Hi Neil, thanks again, for the long explanation :)

I don't have the time and resources at the moment for a complete reinstall. The system works as it is, I would just need to install a few additional binaries, i.e. 'strace' and 'perl'. However, "apt-get upgrade" or "apt-get install" give /usr/bin/dpkg: unrecognized option `--status-fd' BusyBox v1.16.1 (2010-06-07 16:02:32 EDT) multi-call binary. > There are, therefore, no package updates for Crush and updating even > the existing packages is quite likely to fail for some packages.

Well, hard to say ;-) Do you think there is an easy work-around for the above option error of 'dpkg'? Managing to install a few additional tools would keep me happy for the near future (and the project going), and we can think about a clean fix in the long term.
