https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/064 21. If^H^HWhen the newbie's question is ambiguous, the proper interpretation will be whichever one makes the problem the hardest to solve. Good to know the universe hasn't changed. Now, levity aside, let's say you write a PowerShell script and run it on your Microsoft Windows computer, and it queries the Debian repositories, and it learns that bash version 5.2.15-2+b7 is the currently available version for bookworm. Is this version new? Is it old? Do you want to be informed of it? How does your program determine whether to notify you or not?
