Then you've read the comments not carefully enough.

The /etc/shells file belongs into the "setup" package and is
modified by shell packages when those are installed/erased.
Therefore you may need to reinstall _any_ shell package on your
system, such as "bash", for it to modify /etc/shells again as a fix.
