Hey folks,

Does the 'tr' utility support character classes in OpenWRT? I was playing around with an OpenWRT x86_64 VM and I noticed that 'tr' doesn't seem to support character classes. The command " echo HELLO | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' "  does not convert to the text to lowercase as it should (and as required by POSIX). I'm 99.9% sure BusyBox 'tr' supports character classes, as when I tried it on Alpine Linux (which uses BusyBox) everything worked as expected.

I wanted to make sure this wasn't just a fluke with the x86_64 build, so I had another person test it on arm and mips releases and he was able to confirm the issue (and additionally confirmed that the issue is also present in LibreCMC which is based on OpenWRT). Anyways, just hoping I could get some clarification as to what the story is with 'tr' and character classes.

Regards,

Jordan
