Ok, so it's interpreting [...] as a character class despite me not saying "--regex" nor "--rexexp"? Nope: > locate 'tes[st] locate' > locate --regex 'tes[st] locate' /home/myself/test locate.txt /home/myself/test locate[.txt > locate --regexp 'tes[st] locate' /home/myself/test locate.txt /home/myself/test locate[.txt > locate 'test locate[' Pattern 'test locate[' ended prematurely > locate 'test locate[[]' > locate 'test locate[\[]' > locate 'test locate.' /home/myself/test locate.txt > locate --regex 'test locate.' /home/myself/test locate.txt /home/myself/test locate[.txt > locate --regexp 'test locate.' /home/myself/test locate.txt /home/myself/test locate[.txt Looks like it sees something that looks like a character class even when not told it's looking for regexps, starts treating it as a character class, which fails, because the user hasn't supplied a character class, but even when the user supplies a valid character class that should match, doesn't. I can't report this issue upstream because the git repo is on ipv6 only. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.11 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable'), (5, 'testing'), (2, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.11.5+bpo-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages plocate depends on: ii adduser 3.134 ii libc6 2.36-9+deb12u10 ii libgcc-s1 12.2.0-14+deb12u1 ii libstdc++6 12.2.0-14+deb12u1 ii liburing2 2.3-3 ii libzstd1 1.5.4+dfsg2-5 plocate recommends no packages.
