Package: grep
Version: 2.27-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Scripts working with grep stopped working after the update. No patterns
where detected ant the message informing of coincidences in the binary file was
displayed. The file is a downloaded html and "file" command returns:
selecc.html: HTML document, ISO-8859 text, with CRLF, LF line terminators
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Explicitly indicating grep to treat the file as text solved the problem:
"grep -a ...."
