Hi,
just testing a module on a fresh Linux (Debian 6.0.5-i386) with the
latest standalone. No messages when calling 'setuptex', but the PATH to
the binaries is not set correctly here. I manually added the binary path
to '.bashrc' and it worked.
# add ConTeXt binaries to PATH
PATH=~/context/tex/texmf-linux/bin:$PATH
Peter

recently i had to configure a debian machine (normally i use opensuse)
and found out that some scripts didn't work because instead of bash
something dash (b->d) was used ... maybe that's the issue

The "safest" thing to do for scripts is to stick to /bin/sh - the POSIX
shell. Bash is a good shell but not the default shell on many *nix, BSD
and *nux systems. On BSD, it has to be installed as an optional package.
/bin/sh may not always be the default but I've yet to find a system
where it isn't present in the default install.
/bin/sh is a superset of the original Unix Bourne shell and implements
most features of ksh - the Korn shell.
Relying on the features of any other shell (bash, dash, csh, zsh &c.)
may get some extra functionality but breaks portability. Bash will run
scripts written for /bin/sh without modification but the reverse is not
always true.
Just an FYI from someone who's been using Unix, derivatives and
work-alikes since Bell Labs V7 :)

In the archlinux PKGBUILD that I maintain, I use the following setuptex:
~~~
TEXMFOS=/opt/context-minimals/texmf-linux
export TEXMFOS
TEXMFCACHE=$HOME/texmf-cache
export TEXMFCACHE
unset TEXINPUTS MPINPUTS MFINPUTS
PATH=$TEXMFOS/bin:$PATH
export PATH
OSFONTDIR="$HOME/.fonts;/usr/share/fonts;"
export OSFONTDIR
~~~

You should call
$> . setuptex
(warning: there is an initial '.' ! )
or
$>source setuptext
but the last one is a bash extension.
