zgrep is part of the "gzip" package, not grep. This bug looks a lot like 314342 and friends, which have been fixed a long time ago: gzip (1.3.5-11) unstable; urgency=low * patch from Peter Samuelson for bashism in zgrep, closes: #314342, #314211, #312380, #310329 -- Bdale Garbee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wed, 15 Jun 2005 14:39:11 -0600 Line 103 of newer zgrep is not a substitution, so it seems like your /bin/sh is not bash and your gzip package is old (the "Bad substitution" string appears in dash, but not in bash or sed). Could you send the output of "ls -l /bin/sh" and "dpkg -l gzip" on a machine where this problem occurs? Thanks, Julien Cristau
