The dash preinst diverts it, but only if a diversion is not already in place. In that case, both dash's and bash's version would be diverted, causing the file conflict. > Processing triggers for man-db ... > Processing triggers for menu ... > Errors were encountered while processing: > /var/cache/apt/archives/dash_0.5.5.1-2.3_i386.deb > E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) > > I do a “sudo dpkg-reconfigure mksh” to set mksh/sh=false, > then I have /bin/sh@ -> bash > > Now, the “sudo apt-get dist-upgrade” succeeds. > Afterwards, mksh/sh=false and dash/sh=false still. > > Then I “sudo dpkg-reconfigure mksh” to set mksh/sh=true, > but I still have /bin/sh@ -> bash Because dash now always sets up a diversion, and you cannot have more than one package divert the same file (see #273093).
