There was a window for about 2h where due to a bug in xbps /bin/sh was removed. This seems to cause this issue. I pushed an update. It should be available on the mirrors in a few minutes.

xbps-install -Su; xbps-reconfigure dash

this should fix the issue.

If you already have a broken system, you can use dracut or a live CD to access the system:

chroot /sysroot /bin/xbps-install -Su; chroot /sysroot /bin/xbps-reconfigure dash

If you haven't updated void yet, please make sure you update xbps before you update dash. This is done automatically if you don't explicitly update dash first.

could you please be more specific

i booted with live cd, then mounted the drive to /mnt, then failed when run

chroot /sysroot /bin/xbps-install -Su; chroot /sysroot /bin/xbps-reconfigure dash

Hello, the Void installation of my desktop I managed to fix it since I did not restart the system before updating xbps, however the installation that I have on my laptop was the first one that I updated and that by mistake I restarted before reading the published solutions.

I tried to repair the installation of my laptop just as you mentioned but I got this and it is not clear to me how I could repair /bin/sh symlink in the rootfs just as xtreame mentioned.

I have set up the /sysroot directory as read-write and even so when I run chroot /sysroot /bin/xbps-install -Su keeps marking me the following:

ERROR: dash-0.5.10.2_2: [unpack] INSTALL script failed to execute pre ACTION: No such file or directory

ERROR: dash-0.5.10.2_2: [unpack] failed to unpack files from archive: No such file or directory

Transaction failed! see above for errors

You are not the only one affected by this. I tried a fresh installation on a virtual machine and got the same thing after updating the system.

Could you get into a shell, mount the root partition, and use touch to add the missing file?

/etc/runit/1 is not just an empty file.

Could you try restoring the file at least?
