You're right :-) I thought the default semantics of grep-dctrl was "regular expression" because when you don't type anything it says "a pattern is mandatory" and in my mind "pattern" is "regular epression pattern". I see grep calls literal strings patterns too. If you're going to output all fields grep-dctrl is unnecessary. I guess the pattern should be '' I usually use grep-dctrl with -s to only output some fields but match all packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
