Package: agrep
Version: 4.17-9.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I use `agrep` to search my .mailrc for aliases. It failed to find a
pattern I expected it to find. I confirmed that egrep finds the pattern
as expected. Details can be found in the following transcript (fish shell):
```
nr@homedog ~/etc> agrep chloe-ramsey-lavoie ~/.mailrc
alias chloe-ramsey-lavoie [email protected]
nr@homedog ~/etc> agrep 'alias#'chloe-ramsey-lavoie ~/.mailrc
nr@homedog ~/etc [1]> malias andrew-gall
alias andrew-gallant [email protected]
nr@homedog ~/etc> agrep 'alias#'andrew-gal ~/.mailrc
alias andrew-gallant [email protected]
nr@homedog ~/etc> agrep chloe-ramsey-lavoie ~/.mailrc | od -a
0000000 a l i a s sp c h l o e - r a m s
0000020 e y - l a v o i e sp R E D A C T
0000040 E D R E D @ g m a i l . c o m nl
0000060
nr@homedog ~/etc> man agrep
nr@homedog ~/etc> agrep 'alias#'chloe-ramsey-lavoie ~/.mailrc
nr@homedog ~/etc [1]> agrep 'alias.*'chloe-ramsey-lavoie ~/.mailrc
nr@homedog ~/etc [1]> egrep 'alias.*'chloe-ramsey-lavoie ~/.mailrc
alias chloe-ramsey-lavoie [email protected]
```
Please note I have redacted the actual email address.

Changed-By: Alexander Zangerl <[email protected]>
Closes: 1141238
Changes:
glimpse (4.18.7-13) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* cleaned up some trailing whitespace in manpages
* hackily fixed up agrep.c and bitap.c to handle input lines that
cross a read record boundary more or less correctly (closes: #1141238)
the agrep code is an abysmal mess and i'm definitely not rewriting this,
so YMMV.
