Package: texinfo
Version: 4.13a.dfsg.1-6
The /usr/bin/texi2dvi shell script invokes
... | $EGREP '[A-z]' >&6 || ...
on line 1713. Unless LC_ALL=C, this gives an error.
$ echo A:/foo/bar | env LC_ALL=C egrep '^(/|[A-z]:/)' || echo error
A:/foo/bar
$ echo A:/foo/bar | env LC_ALL= egrep '^(/|[A-z]:/)' || echo error
egrep: Invalid range end
error
There are a few ways to fix this. The invocation could be changed to
... | env LC_ALL=C $EGREP '^(/|[A-z]:/)' ...
assuming it really is desired to match any of the following
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
as in the current code.
Assuming the intent is to match only ASCII alphabetic characters, the
invocation should be
... | $EGREP '^(/|[A-Za-z]:/)' ...
or
... | env LC_ALL=C $EGREP '^(/|[[:alpha:]]:/)' ...
Assuming the intent is to match alphabetic characters in the current
locale, the invocation should be
... | $EGREP '^(/|[[:alpha:]]:/)' ...
or, better,
... | $EGREP '^([[:alpha:]]:|)/' ...
Cheers,
--Barak.
