Title:
  broken GNU grep breaks German dictionary built

Status in grep package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in igerman98 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  recent changes in GNU grep are severely broken and cause that the
  built of the German dictionary will be broken. You should update to
  igerman98-20160407 to detect that and work around using busybox as
  proposed by the built of it.

  I would actully highly recommend to downgrade GNU grep to 2.22 for the
  Ubuntu 16.04 LTE release because later versions of GNU grep will  most
  likely cause a lot of other problems also.
