No, the fact that the tweaks to the ucfr script helped means your
installation *as a whole* is corrupted. egrep is /bin/egrep, which is part
of the grep package. There is no reason for egrep to fail, but grep -E to
work, except a corrupted system. Likewise, the '$' syntax is valid bash
shell syntax, so if this is failing, somehow the script is being run under
an interpreter that isn't bash.
