[SOLVED] bash scripts giving parse/math errors

Hi, I have problems with some packages to init it. For example, when I execute screenfetch, then I get the following error: screenfetch/usr/bin/screenfetch:338: parse error near `('

And when I want to downgrade a package...

sudo downgrade wpa_supplicant
downgrade[sudo] password for carlos:
/usr/bin/downgrade:146: bad math expression: operand expected at `"1" '
Available packages:

   1) wpa_supplicant-1:2.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (remote)
   2) wpa_supplicant-1:2.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (local)
   3) wpa_supplicant-1:2.5-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (remote)
   4) wpa_supplicant-1:2.5-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (remote)
   5) wpa_supplicant-1:2.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (remote)
   6) wpa_supplicant-1:2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (remote)
   7) wpa_supplicant-2.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (remote)
   8) wpa_supplicant-2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (remote)
   9) wpa_supplicant-2.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (remote)
  10) wpa_supplicant-2.1-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (remote)
  11) wpa_supplicant-2.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (remote)
  12) wpa_supplicant-2.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (remote)
  13) wpa_supplicant-2.0-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (remote)

select a package by number:

I am using zsh with the default configuration

Please also post the output of

Okay, it's clear now!

I had done a symbolic link from zsh to bash, so bash was not detected.
