Re: Server turned to sushi, please fix bash



My tale may help someone who needs part of potato.

That bug bit me when I was setting up a test machine.  I got lucky,
though.  I had logged into another VC, so I could run commands.  I
forced bash to install my mounting an NFS partition with the Debian
distribution and running dpkg on the package.  I recovered the install
and ran the system OK.
