Hello,

there is a discrepancy between doc and parser. Please try

 s/providers/provider/;

Are you sure?

	$ sed -i 's/providers/provider/' ./bird

	$ bird --version
	BIRD version 2.16

	$ bird -c ./bird -p
	bird: ./bird:642145:17 syntax error, unexpected PROVIDER

Sorry for the inconvenience. We'll fix this in the next version.

It seems https://bird.network.cz/download/bird-2.16.tar.gz wants
plural 'providers', but
https://pkg.labs.nic.cz/bird2/pool/main/b/bird2/bird2_2.16-cznic.1~bullseye_amd64.deb
wants singular 'provider'

both report 'BIRD version 2.16' as the version string

I'd like to know ASAP whether it's going to be 'providers' or
'provider', because I'd like to ship an rpki-client release which can
output BIRD compatible configuration for ASPA :-)

Kind regards,

Job
