This looks like the diversions for /bin/sh got removed or otherwise improperly modified at some point in time. dpkg-divert --list '/bin/sh*'; will show you what the diversions are. You should have a diversion of /bin/sh to /bin/sh.distrib by dash or by bash (depending on which of them you want to be the default shell). If the diversion doesn't exist, then you probably want to run the following (for dash to be the default shell) dpkg-divert --package dash --divert /bin/sh.distrib --add /bin/sh; dpkg-divert --package dash --divert /usr/share/man/man1/sh.distrib.1.gz \ --add /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz; or similar. In theory, running /var/lib/dpkg/info/dash.preinst; should also do this for you. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com Rule 6: "If violence wasn't your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it." -- Howard Tayler _Schlock Mercenary_ March 13th, 2005 http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20050313.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
