You probably have multiple versions of bash installed. One of them, which you invoked by typing "bash -version" from a command shell, is version 5.0.11. The other, which is your login shell as used by your terminal emulator, is very likely bash 3.2. > The behavior seems consistent with the original bash 3 declare > statement persisting after the bash 5 install which seems unlikely. Yup. Your login shell is still pointing to the original bash, not the other bash.
