grep 2.25 only stopped treating files as binary under the "C" locale, as that commonly means "I don't care about the encoding". AFAIK the behaviour did not change if you call it under a proper locale such as sv_SE.UTF-8. If you look at the file when it's encoded in a proper locale, it works:
$ iconv -f iso8859-1 -t utf8 /tmp/seen-binary-by-grep.txt vMgs ingen lösning - the Swedish character o-umlaut osmak ingen lösning smak lösningen - the solution (Note that the file is broken -- the first two non-ASCII ö characters are encoded in ISO-8859-1, and the last one is UTF-8). And as described above, binary detection also is disabled under C: $ LC_CTYPE=C grep ning /tmp/seen-binary-by-grep.txt vMgs ingen l�sning - the Swedish character o-umlaut osmak ingen l�sning smak lösningen - the solution So this is indeed not the same bug as bug 1547466, I retitled that one to clarify. It's much closer to http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=19985. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1535458 Title: [15.10 REGRESSION] Randomly wrongly detects files as binary To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grep/+bug/1535458/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
