Package: procmail
Version: 3.22-22
Severity: normal

I'm not sure whether this should be considered a documentation error or
an actual bug, but according to the procmailrc(5) manpage:

  These regular expressions are *completely* compatible to the normal
  egrep(1) extended regular expressions.

Yet, I could not get named character classes like [[:digit:]] to match
instead of [0-9], while egrep(1) handles them just fine.

(I wouldn't have been so surprised, were it not for the emphasis in the
manpage statement.  <g>)
