Dear GNU,

Not sure if this is bug. But I think first one is legal command that is logically similar to second which works

Thank you,
Raj.

#1-- Error
[raj@rajvista ~]$ echo "Raj" | tr "[[:alpha:]]" "[[:lower:]]"
tr: misaligned [:upper:] and/or [:lower:] construct

#2--Ok

[raj@rajvista ~]$ echo "Raj" | tr "[[:upper:]]" "[[:lower:]]"
raj
[raj@rajvista ~]$ 

[raj@rajvista ~]$ tr --version
