Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dash
The choice to make /bin/dash the shell for /bin/sh causes quite a few
problems: The ATI-driver fails to build (#68635), Parallels won't
configure and VMware is not that happy either, as they use stuff in
their scripts that dash doesn't support. I bet there are quite a few
other applications that have problems with this switch (especially as
Ubuntu is the inly distro I know that uses dash by default).
If you really want to keep dash as the default-shell, please make it
configurable via update-alternatives, so that I can easily switch back
to bash.
** Affects: dash (Ubuntu)
