(not kidding), removing bash prevent /bin/egrep to work.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?

apt-get remove --purge bash

   * What was the outcome of this action?

/bin/egrep stopped working

Either depends on the bash package or use the /bin/sh shebang
