Package: gnats Version: 4.1.0-0 Severity: normal hi,
I installed the dash package in my system. When I install gnats, it fails with the message : /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: 15: Syntax error: "(" unexpected dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/gnats_4.1.0-0_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/gnats_4.1.0-0_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Then, I linked /bin/sh to /bin/bash and re-run apt-get install gnats.
