Bug#590130: texinfo: texi2dvi egrep warning for bad regexp char range
Package: texinfo
Version: 4.13a.dfsg.1-5
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/texi2dvi
Running texi2dvi with LANG=en_US gives a warning message from egrep.
For example an empty dummy input,
touch foo.texi
LANG=en_US texi2dvi foo.texi
prints
egrep: Invalid range end
I suppose in
echo "$command_line_filename" | $EGREP '^(/|[A-z]:/)' >&6 \
the A-z is no good when there's a territory in the $LANG, or something
stupid like that. (If $LANG is unset, or just LANG=en, there's no
warning.)
Perhaps it should be A-Za-z, or "$EGREP -i" insensitive and then A-Z.
