Package: bash
Version: 5.1-2+b2
Severity: important
Dear maintainer,
With bash 5.1-2+b2, the output of
getopts abc opt hello; EC=$?; echo $opt $OPTIND $EC
is
x 2 1
$EC == 1 is correct, $opt == x is strange but irrelevant, but $OPTIND == 2 is
not the
index of the first non-option arg, the correct value is 1.
This corrupts all my scripts which use shift $((OPTIND - 1)) to process the
non-option args.
After downgrading to bash 5.0-4, the output of the above command is
x 1 1
as it should be.

The value of $OPTIND is correct now.
But as already mentioned, $opt == x was strange, and the same holds for
$opt == y now.
The bash manual states that if the first non-option arg is encountered,
opt is set to ?,
so this is another bug.
Hi,
this issue seems fixed in bash 5.2.21-2:
$ getopts abc opt hello; EC=$?; echo $opt $OPTIND $EC
? 1 1
Please reopen this bug if you can still replicate this issue.
Regards,
