zgrep ignores -h grep option

[Steve Brown]

Binary package hint: gzip

Found this bug while trying to figure out why fwanalog did not work. It relies on sed parsing of zegrep -h ( = --no-filenames) output of gzipped logfiles. zegrep passes args to zgrep, which ignores the -h option.

Found the bug in Gutsy, verified also in most recent Hardy version, gzip_1.3.12-3.2

Patch for the fix attached.

I also submitted the bug to <email address hidden>, but haven't seen any response.

Thanks,
Steve Brown

Thanks for your patch and I'm sorry it didn't get incorporated in the package. However, I have good news! This bug is fixed in Jaunty Jackalope with package version 1.3.12-6ubuntu2. The source code follows:

  (-h | --no-f*)
    no_filename=1;;

Probably a regression, but I'm seeing this on Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin with all updates installed.
