I was using grep to scan names of files in RPM's. Some of the names are in latin1 instead of UTF-8, and the version of grep installed with 13.2 (2.20), gives messages like this: *** file = libvtkUtilitiesPythonInitializer-pv4.2.so.1 grep: invalid UTF-8 byte sequence in input ----- *** file = libvtkPVClientServerCoreCore-pv4.2.so.1 grep: invalid UTF-8 byte sequence in input ----- the 'file' part is my script -- name of the file I am looking for, but grep aborts because of the invalid UTF-8 bytes in the "rpm -ql" output of some package or another. I D/L their current version (2.21) and verified it is fixed; output comes up now, like: *** file = libvtkUtilitiesPythonInitializer-pv4.2.so.1 /home/rpms/13.2/repo/oss/suse/x86_64/paraview-4.2.0-1.2.x86_64.rpm:/usr/lib64/paraview/libvtkUtilitiesPythonInitializer-pv4.2.so.1 /home/rpms/13.2/repo/oss/x64+noarch/paraview-4.2.0-1.2.x86_64.rpm:/usr/lib64/paraview/libvtkUtilitiesPythonInitializer-pv4.2.so.1 ----- *** file = libvtkPVClientServerCoreCore-pv4.2.so.1 /home/rpms/13.2/repo/oss/suse/x86_64/paraview-4.2.0-1.2.x86_64.rpm:/usr/lib64/paraview/libvtkPVClientServerCoreCore-pv4.2.so.1 /home/rpms/13.2/repo/oss/x64+noarch/paraview-4.2.0-1.2.x86_64.rpm:/usr/lib64/paraview/libvtkPVClientServerCoreCore-pv4.2.so.1 I have dumped the names of all the files of all the rpms in 13.2, so if something is "looking" for one of those files, I can scan the distribution for the file. The bug only appears if you use the "-P" option of grep -- which I used. The grep maintainers were able to reproduce my problem with an older version... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
