If i'm reading that thread correctly, this is a 'feature' rather than a 'bug'..
>From that discussion: " This is another side effect of using a multibyte locale. As long as there are no NUL bytes in your input, you can work around the issue by running grep in the C locale: LC_ALL=C grep ... " "Yes, the C locale has the nice effect of EVERY byte being a valid single byte character, leaving only NUL bytes and a non-empty file not ending in newline as the only reasons for a file to be marked binary. " I wonder if this is something that the devs would consider patching... i'm not sure what the proper way to declare a variable would be (or if they woudl want to do it)... or if it would be better to use -a in that grep line. Is oldpackages supported? I don't remember current state. On Thu, Dec 11, 2014 at 12:54 AM, Robert P. J.
