Package: bash
Version: 3.2-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
There is an interdependency between bash and dash that prevents bash
from being upgraded. Here is the output when I try:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Preparing to replace bash 3.2-6 (using
.../archives/bash_4.0-4_amd64.deb) ...
The bash upgrade discovered that your /bin/sh link points to dash.
As bash for Debian is destined to provide a working /bin/sh (pointing to
/bin/bash) your link will be overwritten by a default link.
If you don't want further upgrades to overwrite your customization,
please
read /usr/share/doc/bash/README.Debian.gz for a more permanent solution.
[Press RETURN to continue]
Unpacking replacement bash ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/bash_4.0-4_amd64.deb
(--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/bin/sh', which is also in package dash
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
It appears that I also can't remove either bash or dash to resolve the
problem. Removing bash breaks a lot of packages, so I didn't attempt it,
while removing dash fails.
