bash-1.14.7-22

But it wants "sh", not "bash". Best I can figure out, it is a
combination of this and some idiot requirement for perl, but it doesn't
properly find perl. I went into the spec file, deleted all references to
perl, but it still fails the "sh". "sh" isn't even in the spec file as a
requirement, but the rpm -bb --nodeps still ends with:
+ exit 0
PreReq: /bin/sh

All I can figure is that some recursive requirement for sh is there that
isn't in the starting spec file. If I could find the spec file
responsible for that, I'd delete the sh requirement (or change it to
bash).
