Description

Ubuntu now uses /bin/dash for scripts that specify /bin/sh, but bin/slaves.sh currently fails with /bin/dash, requiring instead /bin/bash. We should either declare it to use /bin/bash or fix it to be compatible.

The error I see is:

/home/cutting/src/hadoop/trunk/bin/slaves.sh: 45: Syntax error: Bad substitution
