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.
