This is not helpful, you have old tools in your environment.

Ideally you'd report regressions in existing test _cases_ 
(I mean an individial [ OK ] turning into a [FAIL]).

The bash tests depend on too many CLI tools to be expected
to pass. Having to detect the tool versions is an unnecessary
burden on the test author. Tools usually get updated within
3 months and then all these checks become dead code for the
rest of time...
