Package: grep
Version: 2.6.3-3
Severity: normal
This used to work in grep 2.5.4-4 :
echo "hello" | grep "[\-.]"
but now it returns this:
grep: Invalid range end
whereas the following has always worked fine (and continues to do so):
echo "hello" | grep "[.\-]"
I'm not quite sure if one of them is valid and the other one isn't
(couldn't find this in the grep manual). But one thing to note is that
it used to work and so I had logcheck rules using it and then the
upgrade to grep 2.6 broke this for me.
Cheers,
Francois
