You were right , sh pointed to dash, and bash works ok. I'm using Debian from potato and from i know never sh has pointed to something different from bash.
Sorry by bothering you , but i don't know if is correct that sh in a fresh installed system points to dash, and if not which package to report. The only speciality in my installation is I install the bare minimum from netinst cd , and aftewards i mount the dvd images as /dev/loop[1-9] and install rest with apt-get ( because system hasn't internet connection ) . The only packages installed are xorg-dev , fvwm , less , mc , mplayer , xpdf , ghostscript , gcc , g++ , python , emacs , joe, make , autotools. Nothing has done as root from scratch than compile ( as user ) and install ( as root ) new kernel , drm-nouveau , nouveau.
