Hi!

I wanted to diff two files, but busybox in trunk comes without
diff enabled:

Currently defined functions:
        [, [[, arping, ash, awk, basename, brctl, bunzip2, bzcat, cat, chgrp, 
chmod, chown, chroot, clear, cmp, cp, crond, crontab, cut, date, dd, df, 
dirname, dmesg, du, echo, egrep, env, expr, false, fgrep, find, free, grep,

And diffutils refuses to install without --force-overwrite:

# opkg install diffutils
Installing diffutils (3.0-1) to root...
Downloading 
http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/diffutils_3.0-1_ar71xx.ipk.
Collected errors:
 * check_data_file_clashes: Package diffutils wants to install file /usr/bin/cmp
        But that file is already provided by package  * busybox
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package diffutils.

While diff is gone after 10.03, cmp arrived, leading to this little
smudge.

OK, I admit I installed diffutils with --force-overwrite ;-) But I hate
having to use --force options. They tend to come back and bite.
