Ubuntu seems to cause, sometimes, issues, but maybe things have > changed. Indeed, using Ubuntu as host system you will see /bin/sh -> /bin/dash in version-check output (host system requirements). Since you will encounter errors using dash shell you really want to change from dash to bash - as you can read in the archive [1] I had to learn it, too.
