app-shells/bash-3.2_p17-r1

Bash operator =~ seems to not work properly in this version .. here are some of the commands i made:

# bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.17(1)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

# [[ "1234" =~ "^[[:digit:]]+$" ]] && echo a
# [[ "1234" =~ "^[0-9]+$" ]] && echo a
# [[ "1234" =~ "^[[:digit:]]\+$" ]] && echo a
# [[ "1234" =~ "^[0-9]\+$" ]] && echo a

# shopt | grep glob
dotglob         off
extglob         off
failglob        off
nocaseglob      off
nullglob        off


Everything here made no output.. Please note that in other bash versions, I don't need to set extglob to on 

# bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.1.17(2)-release (i486-slackware-linux-gnu)
Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

# shopt | grep glob
dotglob         off
extglob         off
failglob        off
nocaseglob      off
nullglob        off

# [[ "1234" =~ "^[[:digit:]]+$" ]] && echo a
a


Reproducible: Always
