Package: ispell Version: 3.4.00-4 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
the behavior of grep and egrep has changed from 2.22-1 to 2.23-1. The current version of grep returns "Binary file <file> matches", if the given file contains a non 7bit ascii character, if run with LC_ALL=C. Setting LC_ALL=de_DE (which uses ISO-8859-1 charset), grep works as expected. munchlist calls egrep, but the script has LC_ALL=C hard coded in it, which results in unexpected output. I'm not fully sure, what the correct solution for this problem is, as a workaround setting GREP_OPTIONS="--binary-files=text" helps but gives a depreciation warning. So as a quick workaround it would be a good idea to replace all calls of "egrep" by "egrep -a". All this affects the building of igerman98 with grep 2.23-1, which runs into this problems multiple times (partly in its own Makefile, which also uses grep and fails, partly in munchlist calls). For information, here's a part of the NEWS section of grep 2.23: Binary files are now less likely to generate diagnostics and more likely to yield text matches. grep now reports "Binary file FOO matches" and suppresses further output instead of outputting a line containing an encoding error; hence grep can now report matching text before a later binary match. Formerly, grep reported FOO to be binary when it found an encoding error in FOO before generating output for FOO, which meant it never reported both matching text and matching binary data; this was less useful for searching text containing encoding errors in non-matching lines.
