Bash Version: 5.1
Patch Level: 16
Release Status: release
Description:
test's arithmetic operatiors print an incorrect error message
when one of operands is not an integer.
It says "integer expression expected" even if it simply expects
an integer, not an expression ([['s arithmetic operators do
expect an expression, but test's don't).
Repeat-By:
bash-5.1$ [ abc -gt 2 ]
bash: [: abc: integer expression expected
bash-5.1$ [ 1 -lt 2+3 ]
bash: [: 2+3: integer expression expected
Fix:
Change the error message at line 156 of test.c[1] to
"%s: integer expected"
or
"%s: integer operand expected"
and update the translations of that message.

Alternatively, change the error message to:
"invalid integer %s"
and borrow translations from GNU test.
bash-5.1$ declare -p LANG
