Bug#932173: release-notes: grep should be egrep in section 4.6.1 for buster

[Stefan Kangas]

Package: release-notes
Severity: minor

In Section 4.6.1 of the Release Notes for buster, this command is suggested:

dpkg -l "linux-image*" | grep ^ii | grep -i meta

I believe this should be:

dpkg -l "linux-image*" | egrep ^ii | grep -i meta

Best regards,

Hi Stefan

dpkg -l "linux-image*" | grep ^ii | grep -i meta
dpkg -l "linux-image*" | egrep ^ii | grep -i meta

Care to elaborate? On my system the output of both commands is
identical, and if I read the man page of grep correctly, ^ is just part
of regular grep, so it doesn't need -E.

Sorry for the late reply -- I've been traveling.

I saw some strange behaviour during upgrade but unfortunately can't
reproduce it now. Maybe I just confused myself.

Feel free to close this, and sorry about the noise.
