[Bug 839399] Re: package bash 4.2-0ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package bash is already installed and configured

[Matthias Gehre]

I did only remove /usr/share/doc once, _before_ the installation.
And I cannot reproduce the issue any more,
apt-get install --reinstall bash works just fine.
