Basically what Ubuntu have done is installed /bin/dash and have a symlink /bin/sh pointing to it. They also have /bin/bash and have that as the default shell for normal users. So, anyone kicking off a build of LFS will be doing it using /bin/bash. Thanks to the way jhalfs is now setup, it'll push everything (I think) through an explicit /bin/bash, so /bin/sh and hence /bin/dash never gets invoked. Obviously, if you're in a /bin/dash shell yourself and aren't using jhalfs you'll trigger loads of problems, I'd guess. Does this help any?
