Description Dan Fandrich 2024-07-11 07:15:31 CEST

Description of problem:
When ding is configured for egrep mode (as opposed to internal_search mode) searching for a word not in the dictionary returns the single line:

egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E

This line also appears for many searches that *are* in the dictionary, appearing in a seemingly random line amongst the legitimate word output.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ding-1.9-2.mga9

How reproducible:
Always for words not in the dictionary, usually for other words

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure egrep mode in Preferences→Search Preferences
2. Search for a word (legitimate or not)

Should be fixed in ding-1.9-3.mga10 for Cauldron!

@Dan
This complaint "egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E" pops up all over the place, and will gradually disappear as dependant applications get changed accordingly. Like DavidG has done here for 'ding' (Cauldron).

Assigning to you David for M9, as the bug is for that.

Comment 4 Dan Fandrich 2024-07-12 05:50:43 CEST

ding-1.9-2.1.mga9 doesn't work any better than ding-1.9-2.mga9 for me. I still see "egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E" in egrep mode.

Comment 5 David GEIGER 2024-07-12 06:33:51 CEST

Strange! tested on Cauldron I don't see any warnings

Comment 6 David GEIGER 2024-07-12 06:40:11 CEST

Maybe you have to delete your ~/.dingrc config file

Comment 7 Dan Fandrich 2024-07-13 08:51:22 CEST

Deleting ~/.dingrc fixed it. Thanks!

Keywords: (none) => advisory

Comment 8 Dan Fandrich 2024-07-13 19:07:26 CEST

The advisory should probably have a note about deleting .dingrc because otherwise nobody who installs the upgrade to fix the problem will actually see it go away.
