Public bug reported:
Hello there!
Upgrading `dash` from Jammy to Noble is broken. Here is a quick
reproducer:
```
podman pull ubuntu:jammy
podman run -it --rm ubuntu:jammy
sed -i 's/jammy/noble/' /etc/apt/sources.list
apt update
apt full-upgrade
```
This should end up with this error:
```
Setting up dash (0.5.12-6ubuntu3) ...
Removing 'diversion of /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz to
/usr/share/man/man1/sh.distrib.1.gz by dash'
Removing 'diversion of /bin/sh to /bin/sh.distrib by dash'
This should never be reached
dpkg: error processing package dash (--configure):
installed dash package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit
status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
dash
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
```
As `dash` is pre-installed on almost every kind of Ubuntu, this breaks
any upgrade from Jammy to Noble in practice.
