DetailsSummary and Info:
Getting errors from pacman -Syu: /tmp/alpm_527Q3P/.INSTALL: 2: Syntax error: "(" unexpected error: command failed to execute correctly Steps to Reproduce: # ln -s /bin/busybox /bin/sh || ln -s /bin/dash /bin/sh # pacman -S <pkg> these packages failed here: glibc binutils gcc-libs ppl libcups gcc pcre openssl aspell I can make 2 suggestions from this point: one is to insert shebangs in *.install files, leaving the choice to the packager and the other is to launch these files the exec way with /bin/bash. install-info stuff in /usr/share/info isn't that much relevant for my system, is it? |

My suggestion is not to change your /bin/sh symlink to a shell other than bash which is what Arch currently supports.

Shebangs won't work as the scripts are sourced and not run.

Closing as not a (pacman) bug. This is an Arch Linux packaging decision to only support /bin/sh as bash currently.
