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.

Please note, that Debian source packages igerman98 20151222-2 and 20160407-1 both have a workaround implemented, that works around the grep issue.
The grep issue only affects grep 2.23 and up, older grep versions aren't a problem.
