I'm not familiar with that form for grep. Do you mean

with the string "owned" in its name, and it is the
only dependency, then this fails. See my other message
for a better solution.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
