You're correct that the inconsistency should be resolved. As the
documentation is inconsistent with the program, this is a bug, and I've
adjusted its importance accordingly. There's no reason why this
couldn't be fixed for 8.04 if someone is willing to implement the
changes in grep and libpcre.
The last two messages I've received about this bug (the message above
and the message that the bug is once again unassigned) puzzle me.
With the technical board agreeing that libpcre3 can be moved to /lib,
what actually must happen now that the library _will_ be moved and this
bug fixed? I
Steve,
The Technical Board clarified that we're allowed to move the library, and that
this is the preferred course of action, but did not assign anyone to move it.
In order to get it moved, we would need to find a core dev who cares enough to
move it. See the log of the meeting:
Thanks, Joe. That was an interesting and clarifying link. This seems
to be the crux of it:
I don't think worrying about who's going to do something this trivial

Too trivial to assign! Ouch.

This question was discussed by the Ubuntu Technical Board during a
regularly scheduled meeting an 2007-11-20.
It was proposed that libpcre3 could be moved from /usr/lib to /lib to
accomodate its use by /bin/grep. A quorum present at the meeting voted
and confirmed this. Hopefully this resolves
As of Oct. 16th, grep -P is still not available in Gusty.

Ubuntu is. It is necessary for many scripts used in corporate
environments. Additionally, the ease at which someone can return a match

Other popular distributions do have grep -P available - for example: RHEL 4 and
SLES 9.
RHEL places PCRE in /lib while SLES appears to link PCRE statically.

enough resources to have libpcre in /lib. If there's room for

I am adding my vote to those who would like to have the -P option
available. In the enterprise world, many corporate scripts are written
and since RHEL and SLES support the -P option, our internal scripts are
making use of this option. Obviously, we have a problem when porting
them to Ubuntu.
pcregrep is not a valid option, but glark certainly is. Either, however,
is an alternative (they don't have the same syntax, and they don't have
the same features), _not_ a solution, and either way, the man page is
still an issue, as well as compatibility problems which Steve addresses.
