I assume it is. I thought I read somewhere that the reason why bash started to depend on dash would be that apt doestn't pull in new essential packages. Though on IRC I was told it does that already for a long time. So if you don't want dash installed to be on a system which mainly uses stable you have to remove unstable from sources.list But I think dash doestn't hurt, it's small and I use it as /bin/sh since a year or so without problems. -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
