Subject: grep 3.8 warns for potential PCRE regexps without -P

Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2022 16:11:52 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: postgresql-common
Version: 243
Control: clone -1 -2 -3
Control: reassign -2 php8.1-common 8.1.7-1
Control: reassign -3 libxml-sax-perl 1.02+dfsg-3

Dear maintainer,

Recently grep was updated in unstable to upstream release 3.8. You may 
have already noticed that that's a bit of a bumpy ride because grep 
emits new warnings. One of the warnings has already been disabled in 
Debian (see bug #1019335), but others are currently still enabled (see 
bug #1019724). The later bug is about the warning for usage of 
backslashes without defined characters following the backslash. So, this 
is a heads up (the warning will be suppressed soon). Your package emits 
these warning during installation. If upstream grep continues with their 
plan, this might become an error in the future. But, what's more, it 
suggests that something else than the current grep command might have 
been intended.

Could you please investigate?

Paul
