[yocto] Is there still a Yocto dependency on bash (versus dash)?

[Gaurang Shastri]

dash will obviously work but not all the properties of bash (like wild card
characters). somewhere you need to change the logic to run with dash...

but if you really like bash, then you can do
# dpkg-reconfigure dash
and select "NO" on the prompt
