Configuration Information [Automatically generated, do not change]: Machine: x86_64 OS: linux-gnu Compiler: gcc Compilation CFLAGS: -g -O2 uname output: Linux t420 5.15.58-2-lts #1 SMP Mon, 01 Aug 2022 19:44:08 + x86_64 GNU/Linux Machine Type: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu Bash Version: 5.2 Patch Level: !PATCHLEVEL! Release Status: rc2 Description: bash 5.2 has introduced the `globskipdots' shopt which prevents pathname expansion to match "." and ".." and is on by default. When bash is starts in POSIX mode, it is also on by default, it probably should not be for portability reasons. Repeat-By: bash-5.1$ ./bash --posix -c 'echo "$BASH_VERSION" .*' 5.2.0(4)-rc2 .build .gdb_history .git .gitignore .made bash-5.1$ (exec -a sh ./bash -c 'echo "$BASH_VERSION" .*') 5.2.0(4)-rc2 .build .gdb_history .git .gitignore .made Fix: bash should turn globskipdots off at least when it starts in POSIX mode. It could also turn it off when `set -o posix' is run or `POSIXLY_CORRECT' is set.
