Package: grep
Version: 2.5.1.ds2-6
Severity: normal

Hello Maintainer,

if I use a ~ for the ${HOME} then it output an error if I use

   grep --file=~/.some_file

and the following is recognized

   grep --file ~/.some_file
or
   grep --file=${HOME}/.some_file

this is definitively an error in grep, since

   --some-option=~

is working on other programs fine.


[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] echo "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" |grep --ignore-case 
--file=~/.tdtools-procmail/PRI_linux.FLT_reply_to.tags
grep: ~/.tdtools-procmail/PRI_linux.FLT_reply_to.tags: Datei oder Verzeichnis 
nicht gefunden
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] echo "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" |grep --ignore-case --file 
~/.tdtools-procmail/PRI_linux.FLT_reply_to.tags
[EMAIL PROTECTED]


Note: I have ancountered this error on "Sarge" and "Etch"  but  have  no
Testing/Unstable to check it there...

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
