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.
And it is ok.
