Package: dash Version: 0.5.5.1-2.3 Severity: serious During the upgrade of a pbuilder environment I noticed that if DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive, and possibly also if debconf is not available at all, dash - when not previously installed - can not ask its question and will thus become the default system shell, which is not what we want.
This use case should IMO be recognized in the maintainer scripts and handled appropriately so that the default system shell remains unchanged for *all* existing systems. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-rc4-agp-pat (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dash depends on: ii debianutils 3.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dpkg 1.15.3.1 Debian package management system ii libc6 2.9-23 GNU C Library: Shared libraries dash recommends no packages. dash suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
