Package: dash
Version: 0.5.8-2.6
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I was doing an apt dist-upgrade on sid today when apt stopped and there
was no way to bring it back. Dpkg wouldn't work and neither would apt. I
recreated the symlink and after a few tries was able to get the update to
finish. This also has happened on my laptop. relevant terminal output below
