Rumore e vero. See bug #61463: "Scripts that are using bash could be broken with the new symlink". Status: rejected. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dash/+bug/61463 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh Summary: they made a change that has broken many existing user scripts and applications. While it is true that dash may be faster than bash, and that well written scripts should start with shebang bin bash, this will be a major annoyance for thousands of Ubuntu users. Not to mention that a lot of them are newbies...
