This morning, I updated a /bin/bash script, only to find

marius$ mpup -u

/Users/marius/Development/MacPorts/ports/bin/mpup: /bin/bash: bad interpreter: Operation not permitted

A quick search found:

marius$ xattr -l mpup

com.apple.TextEncoding: UTF-8;134217984

com.apple.quarantine: 0086;5db98431;BBEdit;

I can clear the issue:

marius$ xattr -d com.apple.quarantine mpup

xattr -l mpup

com.apple.TextEncoding: UTF-8;134217984

This is a new problem with BBEdit 13, as I never ran into this using previous versions.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.

Apple Catalina as using ZSH now, if you’re using Catalina try that.

This happened on a Mojave machine.

Yes, it also has zsh.

However, I've been using bash for 25 years, and Apple's choice isn't my own. There are some subtle incompatibilities between bash and zsh.

All my machines have the current GPL 3 version of bash installed via MacPorts.

I do have a non-production machine running Catalina, where I have enabled zsh. Needless to say, I have to rebuild all preference files...

I could swear that I was asked to set this when I installed earlier versions of BBEdit (when Sandbox support got added). I've found that this setting has been reset after updating to BBEdit 13.0.2). Annoying!

Since BBEdit will not reset this option of its own accord, I
strongly suspect an OS update mangled same at some point in between.
