1 Hi,
2
3 I have here a problem.
4 I updated the shell bash today and the computer stalled while installing
5 bash so I was not able to reboot my PC.
6 I rebooted then from a rescue system and the bash was completely crashed
7 so I copied the bash from the rescue system.
8
9 Now I can boot my system again.
10
11 Now I try to reinstall bash again but I get the following error message:
12
