Log:
we don't need bash for cacerts shell scripts
Actually, when I wrote the cacerts shell scripts I intended for them to
be bash specific. What do we gain by not using bash here?
Probably because /bin/sh is variable symlink and not everyone wants bash
(bloat, probably).
(One does not simply understand minimalists).
We have bash as a part of LFS and bash is assumed available for all of
BLFS. We make an exception for boot scripts, but this is not a boot
script.
By specifying /bin/bash explicitly we are (were) removing the /bin/sh
variable symlink.
Note also that the /etc/profile scripts are bash specific. I do not
want those changed.
