I am running a Trusty system with grep/2.16-1 and the problem doesn't show up there.
I manually installed grep/2.25-1~16.04.1 and grep/2.25-3 to them with the test case in Debian #799956, and they both exhibit the same issue as in the Debian bug. It does seem that it either regressed again or it wasn't completely fixed the first time. ** Tags added: xenial yakkety -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1535458 Title: [15.10 REGRESSION] Randomly wrongly detects files as binary To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grep/+bug/1535458/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
