I went back to BL2 busybox for both so can compare the outputs of ls -l.
I will remove links to any busybox programs that don't work right and I 
have busybox 1.01 following it on the path, newer than BL3 busybox.

Which files are most likely to be the problem in installpkg?

I have each computer set up somewhat differently and would rather not copy 
one to the other.  The one that runs installpkg is not set up to compile, 
for instance.  But I could copy /lib and /sbin and /bin.

Would it help to temporarily point things to busybox 1.01 in case some of 
the links to the old busybox are bad?  I am not getting any error 
messages from installpkg and just that one from pkg.

Did you know pkg could install rpm and deb packages?  A surprise for me.
