Really tempted to do that :-) but this box uses php for some stuff

What I did was:

apt-mark hold php5-fpm
apt-get -f install
apt-get install bash

the first apt-mark puts a hold mark on php5-fpm so that apt does not
try to update it.  After this the following next apt-get commands
stopped complaining (surely php5-fpm won't upgrade after this, but
this is a problem for another day :-)


Happy shellshock patching!  :-)
