Source: linux Version: 6.12.33-1 Dear Maintainer(s),
Since version 6.12.33-1 uname -r contains the regex control character '+'. This means any existing script passing the output of $(uname -r) to anything that can interpret it as a regex will start to fail. e.g. on unstable where uname -r is 6.12.33+deb13-amd64: $ [[ "My List Of Favourite Kernels: 6.1.31 3.2 2.6.31318231 6.12.27-amd64 6.12.33+deb13-amd64" =~ $(uname -r) ]]; echo $? 1 On testing where uname -r is 6.12.27-amd64: $ [[ "My List Of Favourite Kernels: 6.1.31 3.2 2.6.31318231 6.12.27-amd64 6.12.33+deb13-amd64" =~ $(uname -r) ]]; echo $? 0 I can fix my autopkgtest scripts that started failing due to this, but it seems to me it might affect more scripts out there, so filing a bug so that there's something indexed and searchable.
