Package: grep Version: 2.20-4 Severity: normal With -P (PCRE), $ matches an invalid character, while it should match only an end of line. Example:
$ printf 'ab\377cd\n' | grep -a -P '^.*$' ab�cd $ printf 'ab\377cd\n' | grep -a -P '^.*d' $ I cannot reproduce this problem with upstream's grep 2.21. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages grep depends on: ii dpkg 1.17.22 ii install-info 5.2.0.dfsg.1-6 ii libc6 2.19-13 ii libpcre3 2:8.35-3.3 grep recommends no packages. grep suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
