e.g. /ai-verify partially helpful but I also added bash to the build environment

Gen AI suggestions to solve the build error:

• Detected Error:
"failed to build package: unable to build guest: unable to generate image: installing apk packages: installing packages: installing coreutils (ver:9.6-r0 arch:x86_64): unable to install files for pkg coreutils: unable to install symlink from usr/bin/env -> coreutils: symlink coreutils /tmp/melange-guest-4246341154/usr/bin/env: file exists"

• Error Category: Dependency/Configuration

• Failure Point:
Package installation step - specifically when trying to install coreutils package and create symlinks

• Root Cause Analysis:
The error occurs because there's a conflict with the /usr/bin/env symlink. This typically happens when multiple packages try to provide the same symlink, or when busybox is already providing this symlink.

• Suggested Fix:
Add build environment configuration to handle the symlink conflict:

environment:
  contents:
    packages:
      - busybox<~>
      # Move coreutils before busybox in the list
      - coreutils
      - busybox
      # rest of your packages...

• Explanation:
By ensuring coreutils is installed before busybox and explicitly marking busybox as replaceable (<~>), we allow coreutils to take precedence for the symlinks it provides. This resolves the conflict while maintaining necessary functionality.

• Additional Notes:

• This is a common issue when dealing with base utilities that may have overlapping functionality
• Both busybox and coreutils provide basic Unix utilities, and their symlinks can conflict
• The order of package installation matters in this case
