Why not?  Your ls results show bash exists, so what are the symptoms that
prove it won't run?

Everything sounds correct so far.  What does 'cat
/etc/postinstall/01bash.bat*' show?

Hmm, you really need to run mkpasswd/mkgroup to populate /etc/passwd and
/etc/groups properly.  Maybe that is part of your problem.

Looks similar to what I saw.  But since it didn't hang when done manually,
I'm not sure it is the culprit.

Hmm, I still need to figure out why sh.exe is running - it cannot be
upgraded while it is running.

Hmm, no 01bash.bat output.  What does 'grep -C 5 00bash
/var/log/setup.log' state?
