Hi Don,
Thanks for the help! It looks like the diversion does exist, so doesn't
look like that's the issue:
local diversion of /bin/sh to /bin/sh.distrib
I am not wanting to change the default shell, just trying to upgrade
bash to close the Shellshock vulnerability. Any further ideas on how to
get past this issue?
Thanks!

This looks like the diversions for /bin/sh got removed or otherwise
improperly modified at some point in time.
dpkg-divert --list '/bin/sh*';
will show you what the diversions are.
You should have a diversion of /bin/sh to /bin/sh.distrib by dash or by
bash (depending on which of them you want to be the default shell).
If the diversion doesn't exist, then you probably want to run the
following (for dash to be the default shell)
dpkg-divert --package dash --divert /bin/sh.distrib --add /bin/sh;
dpkg-divert --package dash --divert /usr/share/man/man1/sh.distrib.1.gz \
--add /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz;
or similar.
In theory, running /var/lib/dpkg/info/dash.preinst; should also do this
for you.
