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. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, 'testing'), (700, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-7-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 11.1 ii debianutils 4.11.2 ii libc6 2.31-12 ii libtinfo6 6.2+20201114-2 Versions of packages bash recommends: ii bash-completion 1:2.11-2 Versions of packages bash suggests: pn bash-doc <none>
