Bug description:
In Ubuntu 25.10, the binaries
- sha3sum
- sha3-224sum
- sha3-256sum
- sha3-384sum
- sha3-512sum
are all failing with the error message
sha3sum: --bits required for SHA3
or
sha3-###sum: --bits required for SHA3
respectively.
Passing the parameter --bits does also not work:
$ sha3sum --bits 256
sha3sum: --bits required for SHA3
$ sha3-256sum --bits 256
error: unexpected argument '--bits' found
tip: to pass '--bits' as a value, use '-- --bits'
Usage: sha3-256sum-usage
For more information, try '--help'.
