Actually Rule #1 of Real Business Customers is "Don't expect software to work on platforms it doesn't support". Ubuntu 6.10 is pretty clear about what software it supports and none of the broken software reported in this thread claims to work on Ubuntu 6.10. /bin/sh being linked to dash is just one of many reasons that unsupported software could fail to work on Ubuntu. It would appear that the Ubuntu devs are content with having some segment of unsupported software not working on their distribution for what some consider a gratuitous change. Luckily there is no shortage of Linux distributions so people who disagree have other options. -- Script that are using bash could be broken with the new symlink https://launchpad.net/bugs/61463 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
