Package: grep
Version: 2.5.3~dfsg-6
Severity: normal
When grepping for empty lines in a text file, grep works correctly in most
cases:
~$ grep ^$ myfile.txt
~$ grep -n ^$ myfile.txt
11:
15:
19:
21:
22:
However the -o option, which is supposed to return only the matching parts of
the search, fails:
~$ grep -o ^$ myfile.txt
~$ grep -no ^$ myfile.txt
~$
In other versions, including 2.5.1 on Etch, grep -o ^$ would return exactly the
same as grep ^$, ie one empty line for each search hit.
Normally with -o each successful hit is printed on a new line, but in this case
it looks like grep thinks there is nothing to return so no new lines are
produced. I realise that exactly what grep should return when searching for
the beginning of a line followed by an end of line may not be immediately
clear, but I whould think a 'null' would be sufficient for each hit.

[ Santiago Ruano Rincón ]
* Add upstream-532541-doc-improve-o-help.patch: Improve help about -o.
(Closes: #532541)
* Remove debian/patches/03-397262-dlopen-pcre.patch: dlopen libpcre.so.3 has
been actually wrongly applied and not really used. This patch does not
make sense any more (since stretch), since late-mounting of /usr is not
longer supported. (Closes: #907651)
* Add upstream-915206-0001-tests-backref-alt-works-with-glibc-2.28.patch.
Fix FTBFS with glibc 2.28. (Closes: #915206)
* d/source/options: remove compression = "bzip2", let dpkg-deb select
suitable defaults.
