Hi,
Currently, the Kconfig option for BASH_SH (which causes /usr/bin/sh to
be linked to bash) is as follows:
config BASH_SH
bool
default BUSYBOX = n || BUSYBOX_SH_IS_NONE
However, if DASH_LINK_SH is enabled, that will cause /usr/bin/sh to be
linked to dash, resulting in a conflict.
I suppose the most robust fix would be to add a prompt to allow BASH_SH
to be configured manually. I'm not sure if the default should be changed
to `default (BUSYBOX = n || BUSYBOX_SH_IS_NONE) && DASH_LINK_SH = n`.
If both dash and bash are installed, it is likely that dash would be
used as the system shell and bash would be used as the interactive shell.

Imho, having both bash and dash only makes sense if /bin/sh is dash. So I
think changing the default as suggested above is the correct fix.
