Re: regex bug (only in rpm?)

[Kevin Dalley]

The 4.1.6-3 release is officially an alpha release.  The source code
for that release is available from 
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/findutils-4.1.7.tar.gz

I think that this will solve your problem.  At least it works
correctly on my machine.

Thanks for your bug report.  I hope that this response answers your
question.
