There's a thread over on debian-devel stating (in short) that bash
2.02.1-1.5 has a problem when doing dist-upgrade... Wait for a newer
version to be available was the recommendation (a bit late for you I
guess). You'll have to fudge around with rescue disks etc. It seems
that bash gets removed somehow.
