Looks like read needs an argument. I changed it to read _ and that fixed it.

This should be a PR, not an issue.

However I can't confirm your issue. The read builtin does not need an argument:

If no NAMEs are supplied, the line read is stored in the REPLY variable.

Looks like it has been like that for a long time. Are you sure you're using bash?

If you're on ubuntu it's possible that you have symlinked /bin/bash to /bin/dash, which is a bad idea, as you can see.
The script explicitly states that it is to be executed with /usr/bin/env bash. If your system'sbash` is actually a bash incompatible bash-replacement, you need to fix your system :)

Ah interesting... I haven't symlinked anything and just reinstalled on an encrypted volume yesterday. Of course when updating I got some notices that my system installation was broken, so i'll check it out.
