No, it is a bug fix, and documented in the NEWS: If a file contains data improperly encoded for the current locale, and this is discovered before any of the file's contents are output, grep now treats the file as binary. > > 2) I will also open a report at fedora, maybe the use some strange setting > in building the new packet.

I personally have a strong opinion on that ;) It would be fine if they would recode their file to use UTF-8, as that is pretty much a standard encoding these days. Latin-1 files are getting harder and harder to process, as more people move to multibyte UTF-8 locales. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
