The relevant part of dash.postinst looks like: diverter=$(dpkg-divert --listpackage $dfile) truename=$(dpkg-divert --truename $dfile) case $1 in true) if [ $diverter != dash ]; then # Let dpkg-divert error out; we are not taking # over the diversion, unless we added it # ourselves on behalf of bash. if [ $diverter = bash ]; then dpkg-divert --package bash --remove $dfile else dpkg-divert --package dash --remove $dfile # Make sure we die: echo This should never be reached exit 1 fi which would be trying to remove a diversion by bash in your case, I'd think.

Hi, while beeing hit once more by this bug and reading through the bug log which is discussing the alternatives system: I hope you are aware that dash is actually not using the alternatives system but rather is shipping a symlink ln -s dash /bin/sh As I wrote in my private workaround (see above in the bug log) this symlink is the problem.

Although either you added it manually (did you?) or dash used to use local diversions (instead of setting the package name on the call to dpkg-divert). I'm quite sure I did not manually change diversions for /bin/sh. If I remember correctly I once had to change it back using dpkg-reconfigure dash after something set it to bash. Do you remember more or less since when you started using dash as /bin/sh? Not really. I seem to have installed dash 0.5.4-12 on Aug 26 2008, but I have probably been using it longer. It's just long ago. I think it was some rumors about dash speeding up the boot process that made me switch. Could it be that this was some debconf talk?
