Maybe you're referring to this notice that was sent out a few days ago?

Subject: WARNING: APT removes bash on slink upgrade
My solution to the problem when it bit me this morning (hit "enter" too
quickly), boot from the rescue floppy, copy /bin/sh to /target/bin/bash (after
mounting, of course); cd /target/bin; ln -s bash sh; cd; umount /target; reboot
I ran tcsh while I installed libreadline and then bash.
