Title:
  licensecheck occasional errors

Status in “devscripts” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “devscripts” package in Debian:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  With some input files (raring lxc source package, linux kernel git
  tree) licensecheck reports an error:

  sarnold at hunt:~/trees/linux$ licensecheck -r * > /dev/null
  POSIX syntax [= =] belongs inside character classes in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\s*  [==] <-- HERE {1}  \s*/ at /usr/bin/licensecheck line 367.
  POSIX syntax [= =] is reserved for future extensions in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\s*  [==] <-- HERE {1}  \s*/ at /usr/bin/licensecheck line 367.
  sarnold at hunt:~/trees/linux$ 

  
  or:

  sarnold at hunt:~/ubuntu/sbuild/audits/lxc/raring/lxc-0.9.0~rc1$ licensecheck -r *
  autogen.sh: *No copyright* UNKNOWN
  debian/local/lxc.sh: *No copyright* UNKNOWN
  runapitests.sh: *No copyright* UNKNOWN
  POSIX syntax [= =] belongs inside character classes in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\s*  [==] <-- HERE {1}  \s*/ at /usr/bin/licensecheck line 367.
  POSIX syntax [= =] is reserved for future extensions in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\s*  [==] <-- HERE {1}  \s*/ at /usr/bin/licensecheck line 367.

  
  I couldn't reproduce in /etc, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/share/doc, so clearly it's input-dependent, but I'm having trouble figuring out what input exactly.

  Thanks
