Is sh.exe missing from coreutils?
I am not able to use sh after a upgrade - and sh-utils is listed as _obsolete
First, sh is not a part of coreutils nor its predecessor sh-utils.
Until recently, /bin/sh has been ash, in the package 'ash'. Now it is a
copy of /bin/bash, from the package 'bash'. The new bash postinstall
script is supposed to make this change for you when upgrading, but
because the shell itself is used to run the script it does not always
work. You can just manually run /etc/postinstall/00bash.sh.done and it
should fix things. Or re-run setup and set 'bash' to reinstall.
Apologies if I'm stating something obvious and well-known, but if the
problem is that a currently running sh.exe cannot be
deleted/overwritten, note that you *can* rename a running executable.
So something like
rm -f /bin/sh0.exe
[[ -f /bin/sh.exe ]] && mv /bin/sh.exe /bin/sh0.exe
cp -fpuv /bin/bash.exe /bin/sh.exe
might do the job.
