[PATCH] Fix bzgrep so it doesn't always return a 0 exit code with multiple archives

[Mark Wielaard]

bzip2 lost its domain and got a new home at https://sourceware.org/bzip2/
It also didn't see a release for a very long time. Causing various patches
used by distros to not have been integrated upstream. We are trying to
collect them all and do a new release.

The following patch comes from openSUSE.
Please let us know if we missed some others.

Thanks,

Mark

The bzgrep wrapper always returns 0 as exit code when working on
multiple archives, even when the pattern is not found.
