I guess you are implying that containers have no core utilities. That is something I didn't know, and assumed otherwise.
There are base containers, which include coreutils and util-linux, and there is our busybox base container, which only includes busybox and the symlinks for the tools. So both exists, depending on your needs.
Which reminds me. There were multiple reports on forums about zypper selecting busybox as a dependency for some binary (/usr/bin/xxx). My best guess is that zypper simply takes the first package in alphabetical order when several choices exist. Is there any way to mark some packages as preferred *at runtime*? OBS solves it in project config, but it does not help in this case.
