Package: grep Version: 2.16-1 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, there is one instance of PRCE. It should be PCRE. That would help the reader seeking PCRE. Gnu.org bug worker Jim Meyering said the PRCE occurence was in some distribution patch. Ubuntu.com worker Brian Murray said the PRCE occurence was in a Debian patch. Thank you for your attention. -Philip P.s. Excerpt of an e-memo including some words from Brian Murray and Jim Meyering:

In grep (2.14-3) unstable; urgency=low * Updating 80-587930-man-ere-reference.patch to improve documentation regarding -P (Closes: #203109) * Correcting a formating issue in grep.in.1. Thanks to David Prévot (Closes: #692760) -- Santiago Ruano Rincón <santi...@debian.org> Sun, 11 Aug 2013 18:17:21 +0200 I realize this will be the third place you've reported it, but do you mind submitting a bug to Debian about it? It'd be best to get this fixed in Debian first and then Ubuntu. ** Changed in: grep (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1425664 Title: grep(1) man page for GNU grep 2.16 should have PCRE but has PRCE Status in grep package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: From: Jim Meyering [mailto:j...@meyering.net] Sent: Monday, February 16, 2015 10:43 PM To: Philip Muench Cc: 19719-d...@debbugs.gnu.org Subject: Re: bug#19719: grep(1) man page for GNU grep 2.16 shold have PCRE but has PRCE On Wed, Jan 28, 2015 at 1:12 PM, Philip Muench <philipmue...@fibermountain.com> wrote: > There is one instance of PRCE. It should be PCRE. That would help the reader seeking PCRE. Thank you for reporting that. However, there has never been an occurrence of the string PRCE in the upstream sources, so this is probably due to a distribution-specific patch in use on your system. Also note that there have been significant fixes and improvements since grep-2.16. The latest is grep-2.21. end of Excerpt of an e-memo including some words from Brian Murray and Jim Meyering -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers trusty-updates APT policy: (500, 'trusty-updates'), (500, 'trusty-security'), (500, 'trusty'), (100, 'trusty-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.13.0-44-generic (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages grep depends on: ii dpkg 1.17.5ubuntu5.3 ii install-info 5.2.0.dfsg.1-2 ii libc6 2.19-0ubuntu6.5 ii libpcre3 1:8.31-2ubuntu2 grep recommends no packages.
