[Bug 1700610] [NEW] bash glob expands [a-c] to [aAbBc]

[Cédric M. Campos]

Public bug reported:

Hi, there!

I've realized that bash globbing or glob expansion fails to expand
letter ranges as expected. For instance, [a-c] is expanded to [aAbBc]
instead of to [abc] and [A-C] to [AbBcC] instead of to [ABC], i.e. small
and capital letters are intersperse.

One way to correct this is enabling the bash option "globasciiranges",
which is disabled by default. This problem is LOCALE dependent and might
vary from one system to another.

Fully updated Ubuntu-GNOME 16.04.2 LTS 64-bit with bash
4.3.48(1)-release.

** Affects: bash (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: wajig (Ubuntu) => bash (Ubuntu)
