Details

Steps to reproduce:
use the command aurphan -t
expected behavior: nothing or a list auf PKGBUILDs that need update
output I get:
egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E

Additional info:
* package version: aurphan 20140212-3

Solution that worked for me:
edit /usr/bin/aurphan
Change html=$(egrep '(<h4>|Incomplete|View package details)' <<< "$(curl -s "$TODOURL")" | uniq)
into html=$(grep -E '(<h4>|Incomplete|View package details)' <<< "$(curl -s "$TODOURL")" | uniq)
