>Environment:
The german/dict-1.1 port. The file dict.sh has no RCS id, therefore I
will use its md5 sum to identify it:
MD5 (dict.sh) = 07d395673a98b2e44817ed15c2474d38
>Description:
Whenever I call the script like "dict Katze" or "dict Buch" it fails
with these error messages:
agrep: illegal option -usage: agrep [-#cdehiklnpstvwxBDGIS] [-f patternfile] pattern [files]
summary of frequently used options:
-#: find matches with at most # errors
-c: output the number of matched records
-d: define record delimiter
-h: do not output file names
-i: case-insensitive search, e.g., 'a' = 'A'
-l: output the names of files that contain a match
-n: output record prefixed by record number
-v: output those records containing no matches
-w: pattern has to match as a word, e.g., 'win' will not match 'wind'
-B: best match mode. find the closest matches to the pattern
-G: output the files that contain a match
Nothing found, try best match mode
agrep: illegal option -usage: agrep [-#cdehiklnpstvwxBDGIS] [-f patternfile] pattern [files]
summary of frequently used options:
-#: find matches with at most # errors
-c: output the number of matched records

-G: output the files that contain a match
>How-To-Repeat:
Try the examples above yourself.
>Fix:
The problem is that agrep is called with an incorrect paramater.
Instead of using a single hyphen the "-e" option should be used in order
to make it possible to search for words that start with a hyphen
themselves.
The following small patch solves the problem for me:
