Thanks for the report.
$EGREP is used by the script, and changing it to point to a path that
doesn't exists leads to wx-config failing with an error such as:
Warning: No config found to match: /usr/bin/wx-config --cppflags
in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/wx/config
I'd actually spotted this (also via reproducible-builds) yesterday
but only after I made the recent upload. Unless any of the current
buildds has a merged /usr I suggest we let that upload migrate to
testing and then fix this.
This bug can probably be fixed by passing EGREP="/bin/grep -E" as an
additional command-line argument when invoking configure.
That was my thought too.
It would be nicer to address upstream, but I don't really see a way to
do that cleanly short of rewriting it to just use shell built-ins, which
seems like a lot of work as it's a hairy beast.
Or we could just patch wx-config to set EGREP to "grep -E" (without the
path)?
