I've been using tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' for a while, but with version 6.9.90 (and 6.9.91) I know get the following hard error:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> echo 'AbCd' | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]' ABCD [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> echo 'AbCd' | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' tr: misaligned [:upper:] and/or [:lower:] construct That machine is running in an ISO-8859 locale on openSUSE 11.0 FACTORY: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> set | egrep '^(LANG|LC)' LANG=en_US.iso-8859-1 LC_COLLATE=C I searched Google, the mailing list archives, and checked the ChangeLog in git but didn't find any matching information. Earlier versions as well as FreeBSD 6.2 tr and Solaris 9 tr process both invocations above as expected. To exclude any problems caused by the alpha status of openSUSE FACTORY I also downloaded coreutils-6.9.91 and built it (./configure ; make) on an openSUSE 10.3 machine. The result is the same.
