sudo blocks aliases

[James Diehl]

In my synaptic pkg. mgr. I can click the status button and see what I have installed, and not installed.  Below the pkg. window is another window and several tabs for description, dependency, installed, versions.  When I clicked the not installed, descriptions and versions, it listed the possible shells, which one was installed, the type, size and description for each one when I highlighted it.  I was interested in which one I should use because I wanted to install an oracle database on my system.  The installation instructions said I needed to make files with bash, and I couldn't until I switched to the larger Bourne Again shell.  I'm not making it up!  I don't know if this information is on all Ubuntu pkg. mgrs., but that's what it said in mine.  I browse through that thing all of the time, trying to find things to add to my system for developing.  Every time I try to work with a database or something, I end up going in there and adding another item!
