Thanks for this bug report. These are actually multiple issues:
* Documentation issue in the dgrep man page: dgrep uses dglob for
pattern matching and that one uses wildcard pattern matching. I've
fixed this one in git.
* dglob still doesn't work as documented:
~ → dglob libc6
libc6:amd64
libc6:i386
libc6-dbg:amd64
libc6-dev:amd64
libc6-dev-i386:amd64
libc6-dev-x32:amd64
libc6-i386:amd64
libc6-x32:amd64
~ → dglob libc6\*
~ → dglob libc6:\*
grep-dctrl: *scratch*:1: expected a colon.
~ →
I'm now considering the latter the actual bug tracked by this bug
report.
Regards, Axel
