Package: ksh93u+m
Version: 1.0.8-1
Severity: normal
$ test ! = -o a ; echo $?
0
while I get 1 with dash 0.5.12-6, mksh 59c-35, bash 5.2.21-2,
coreutils 9.4-3.1 and zsh 5.9-6.
POSIX[*] says for 4 arguments:
If $1 is '!', negate the three-argument test of $2, $3, and $4.
Even with ksh93:
$ test = -o a ; echo $?
0
and negated, this would be 1.

I'm closing this bug. Please reopen if you see any issues with the the
