GNU grep from 3.8 emitting warnings when invoking egrep/fgrep https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1001097 > egrep and fgrep commands, deprecated since 2007, now warn that they are obsolescent and should be replaced by grep -E / -F We should look to eliminate egrep/fgrep from the distribution and replace all usages of egrep/fgrep with grep -E and grep -F, respectively. At the moment dropping these items breaks the grep build itself, it's all over the place.
