Actually, I suppose I could use 'grep -e' : didn't think of that!
But the logs for coreutils omitted quite a few programs - I had overlooked what the traditional form of 'diff' does when some changed lines in a file have extra (or, perhaps, deleted) lines amongst them. So, definitely buggy and I'm sure that could also apply in BLFS if somebody built a package, then later rebuilt it after adding extra dependencies. Oh well, that just means it will be a bit longer before I'm ready to do the tickets I have. As with all coding, scripts need to be tested. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early.
