I was wondering the same when you could not reported that it does not happen for you. So I did use wget to pull it to another host from LP. The result was what I posted in comment #3. That system was a fresh install (not an upgrade) using the default system language (though German keyboard and timezone). Buildds and sbuild in Xenial chroots would fail to build the related package (Xen) , so that environment saw the same. I worked around that for now by forcing the build to be done in C.UTF-8.
I still marked the bug high because if that happens to any other package (should they use grep) it might cause unexplainable FTBS or even go unnoticed (if the result is not checked, that happened in my case only because the build uses grep as part of a chain that creates dynamic C files). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1547466 Title: grep switches into binary mode while processing a text file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grep/+bug/1547466/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
