I guess it's intended, but is there any related information about this?
We often configure shell to bash for some reason.

What does "no longer works" mean? What are the symptoms? – Robert Longson Oct 26 '22 at 09:46

2configure just returns with nothing(previously a GUI to select dash or not) – Alvin Liang Oct 26 '22 at 12:21

I think this means dash package no longer provides the reconfigure script – Alvin Liang Oct 26 '22 at 12:22

Debian has deliberately remove this function, search the change logs:
- Stop using debconf to select the default /bin/sh.

so what is the right and clean way to make bash the system shell (eg.
/bun/sh)? I hope I don't have to do hands on symbolic links of executable, manpage and all that is needed.... – mastupristi Jan 13 '23 at 11:47 -
I updated the symbolic link
/bin/shto point to/bin/bash, and my debian system hasn't caught fire yet so there's that. I just hope I won't have to do this at every system upgrade. – corsel Feb 06 '23 at 08:54 -
Okay it did catch fire eventually. Gnome gets stuck in a loop, returning to the login screen after I enter my password on boot. – corsel Feb 07 '23 at 15:12
