Package: grep
Version: 2.5.1.ds1-4
Severity: grave
Error description:
I have a BASH script which do
zgrep "^Filename: " $PATH_TMP/Packages.gz
which was working since years, but now I get
/bin/zgrep: 103: Syntax error: Bad substitution
which mean, I need to rewrite all of my BASH scripts and need to
check all of my customes, because the scripts do not more work.
I consider this bug as "grave" because it breaks backup and update
scripts for tele-maintenance.

As said, this bug was fixed in a previous version of gzip (just a bit
too late for sarge, so it won't be fixed there).
If you want to work around this, you can install a newer version of
gzip, install a fixed zgrep in $HOME or /usr/local (a patch is available
at http://bugs.debian.org/314342), or use bash as your /bin/sh.
