I think it is not the error mentioned there. As you might have seen, in my case after I ran make as LANG=C make that "egrep: Invalid range end" vanished. Also I don't see errors like
LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8 /usr/bin/texi2dvi /some/path/and/file.texi
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: cannot read .//some/path/and/file.texi, skipping.
as mentioned in that link.

Thanks and regards,

Chethan S.

| Well, I'm mystified. There isn't an error there at all, so I wonder

Is the problem the same as the one reported here
