Package: dash
Version: 0.5.5.1-7~exp0
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software


Suddently xbmc compilation started to fail in the configure phase.
I add a lot of 

./configure: 1: "INCLUDES+= " : "not found"

and configure phase indefinitely looped. You can reproduce the bug by 
extracting xbmc 
git and try to  configure it reading README.linux.

As I was aware nothing chnaged in my source tree, I suspected firts the usual 
suspects
(autoconf/automake) but reverting to more ancient version failed also.

Then I suddently discovered /bin/sh was pointing to dash. Chngaing the link 
again 
to bash solved al my compilation problem.
