/bin/sh continues existing as a symbolic link to /bin/bash, so that
isn't the problem here. But if you know how to find out exactly which
scripts are invoked by dpkg that would be helpful. Then I could take
a look at them and interpret the messages to be able to change the
directory structure accordingly. A way to find out at runtime (logs
or s.th.) what operation causes the scripts to return the error
would be cool too. thanks previosly
