Dear Cedric,

Tried and failed. I tried both ways and it still fails for me and I
tried both ways  -

[$] ./get-new.sh 20170201

./get-new.sh: 1: ./get-new.sh: cannot open !DOCTYPE: No such file
./get-new.sh: 1: ./get-new.sh: html: not found
./get-new.sh: 3: ./get-new.sh: Syntax error: newline unexpected


[$] ./get-new.sh 20170201 all both old new list Package
./get-new.sh: 1: ./get-new.sh: cannot open !DOCTYPE: No such file
./get-new.sh: 1: ./get-new.sh: html: not found
./get-new.sh: 3: ./get-new.sh: Syntax error: newline unexpected

I am using zsh so even changed the script a bit but got a different error -

[$] head get-new.sh
                                                           [
#!/usr/bin/env zsh
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' xml:lang='en' lang='en'>
<head>

Tried running it and got the following -

[$] ./get-new.sh 20170201

./get-new.sh:2: no such file or directory: !DOCTYPE
./get-new.sh:4: parse error near `\n'

[$] ./get-new.sh 20170201 all both new list Package

./get-new.sh:2: no such file or directory: !DOCTYPE
./get-new.sh:4: parse error near `\n'

Then tried using bash but same error as before -

─[$] bash ./get-new.sh 20170201

./get-new.sh: line 1: !DOCTYPE: No such file or directory
./get-new.sh: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./get-new.sh: line 2: `
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">'

[$] bash ./get-new.sh 20170201  all both old new list Package

./get-new.sh: line 1: !DOCTYPE: No such file or directory
./get-new.sh: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./get-new.sh: line 2: `
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">'

all out of options.

It is possible that I might have a new package installed in this 3
months period and that's the reason it is also failing :(

All out of options at my end :(

Looking forward to know.
