Package: dash
Version: 0.5.5.1-2
Severity: critical
I just tested a d-i installation of unstable, and debootstrap failed
because dash was unable to install as it should. dash is now a
dependency of bash, and this was thus a fatal error. The problem seem
to be that the /etc/shells file is missing when dash is being
configured. I'm making this a RC bug, as it would make it impossible
to install debian if it stay this way until Squeeze is released.
The dash package calls add-shells, which is part of the debianutils
package, and this script seem unable to handle a missing /etc/shells.
I suspect the correct fix is to list debianutils as a dependency of
dash, to make sure it create /etc/shells before add-shells is called
by dash.
Here are the relevant messages from d-i syslog:
