>From what Eric said, the script starts with #!/bin/dash to document the fact
that it doesn't use bash-specific extensions. Since dash is supposed to be a
POSIX-compliant shell, it should be safe to change this to /bin/sh in the
FreeBSD package. Even if you add a dependency on dash, you will have
Oh.
I think adding another dependency is unwise, but it appears to be a done-deal.
I suppose something was valuable in /bin/dash which was not available in
/bin/bash.
I'll add another dependency to the package.

Hello,
The program is written in DASH, it may work if you replace it with Bash,
but the two shells are not compatible.
In the old time, /bin/sh was pointing to bash, but bash is way more
powerful than the regular /bin/sh. Then, Ubuntu guys have replaced
/bin/sh -> bash by /bin/sh -> dash for perf
/bin/dash is another shell, which is typically used as the system shell on
Ubuntu and Debian.
I'm not sure which repo you are looking at, but my copy has /bin/dash in that
file

I tried to create a pull request for you, but couldn't find this code within
the cloned repo.
I checked out Branch-11.0 but the error was not there.
The tarball for 11.0.2 contains this in
bacula-11.0.2/scripts/baculabackupreport.in
#!/bin/dash
Perhaps that's meant to be #!/bin/bash
