Well, if this error is because of dash, please use the following
comments to change to bash,

$sudo rm /usr/bin/sh
$sudo ln -s /usr/bin/bash /usr/bin/sh

There is also, other way to change to dash to bash through package
configure. But any way, above will done through automated scripts. So,
above is good. You can also make sure you are working on bash shell,
by simply, ls -al /usr/bin/sh, which shows whether the link is
pointing to bash or dash.
