Interestingly, I cannot reproduce this on unstable (I generated the proper locale and use LC_ALL instead of LANG to override all LC_* variables I had set), also minimising the problem doesn't show this issue: echo "shadow: " | LC_ALL=C sed -n 's/^[[:space:]]*\([a-z]*\)[[:space:]]*:.*/\1/p' echo "shadow: " | LC_ALL=sv_SE.UTF-8 sed -n 's/^[[:space:]]*\([a-z]*\)[[:space:]]*:.*/\1/p' (both return the same output for me) Anyway, I'll change the maintainer scripts to force the C locale so we have consistent rexex processing by sed, grep and other tools.
