Normaly debconf ask, whether you want to install /bin/bash as /bin/sh.
Maybe you have confirmed to fast?

Bug#465997: bash overwrites /bin/sh symlink

2008-02-15 Thread Patrick Schoenfeld
Package: bash
Version: 3.1dfsg-9
Severity: serious

Hi,

I had /bin/sh pointing to /bin/dash for several reasons. On the last
upgrade it has been overwritten with a link to /bin/bash.
IMHO this is really bad. For lenny its probably even worse, because
using dash as a new /bin/sh is a release goal. But this is impossible
with a package with priority requires that discriminates other shells
and the decisions of the local system administrator. For this reason I
consider this bug release-critical and therefore set the severity to
serious. May someone lower it if I'm wrong.

Best Regards,
Patrick
