Package: bash
Version: 5.3~alpha1-1
Severity: important
Dear bash maintainers,
bash version 5.3~alpha1-1 in experimental seems to break replacing a
percentage sign in variables. The sign doesn't get removed when replacing:
-8<-
pyksy@hanuri:~$ LOSS='10%'
pyksy@hanuri:~$ echo "${LOSS}"
10%
pyksy@hanuri:~$ LOSS="${LOSS/\%/}"
pyksy@hanuri:~$ echo "${LOSS}"
10%
pyksy@hanuri:~$ LOSS='10%'
pyksy@hanuri:~$ echo "${LOSS}"
10%
pyksy@hanuri:~$ LOSS="${LOSS/\%/foo}"
pyksy@hanuri:~$ echo "${LOSS}"
10%foo
-8<-
Whereas with bash version 5.2.32-1 and earlier, the percentage sign
does get removed when replacing:
-8<-
pyksy@hanuri:~$ LOSS='10%'
pyksy@hanuri:~$ echo "${LOSS}"
10%
pyksy@hanuri:~$ LOSS="${LOSS/\%/}"
pyksy@hanuri:~$ echo "${LOSS}"
10
pyksy@hanuri:~$ LOSS='10%'
pyksy@hanuri:~$ echo "${LOSS}"
10%
pyksy@hanuri:~$ LOSS="${LOSS/\%/foo}"
pyksy@hanuri:~$ echo "${LOSS}"
10foo
-8<-
This bug breaks some of my scripts.
Let me know if I can be of assistance.
Thanks,
--Antti
