ASUS Merlin: acme.sh parameter parsing bug causing ---- unknown parameter errors and fragmented installations

[Slider]

The Problem:

Every acme.sh command with double-dash parameters fails with "Unknown parameter: ----[parameter]" errors:

• acme.sh --install → "Unknown parameter: ----install"
• acme.sh --cron → "Unknown parameter: ----cron"
• acme.sh --renew → "Unknown parameter: ----renew"
  
  I'm experiencing a persistent parameter parsing issue with acme.sh on an RT-AX86U running the latest stable Merlin firmware that's preventing SSL certificate renewal and causing fragmented installations across my system.
  
  All help appreciated

I don't use the firmware version of acme. Rather, I use the official version installed to a USB drive on the router.

Saying that, the firmware version is likely a scaled down version - hence why the issues.
