[bonzini@gnu.org: Including sed 4.1.2 into sarge]

[Colin Watson]

Perhaps we should consider syncing this. warty contains sed 4.1-1; the
differences between that and 4.1.1-1 in sarge do not seem to be
responsible for introducing this bug (#265208, plus a few others in the
Debian changelog).

With my other hat on, I'm approving 4.1.2-1 for sarge.

Hi everybody,

I am the maintainer for GNU sed.  As the Debian package maintainer Clint 
Adams may have already told this list, I have asked him to push sed 
4.1.2 into Sarge.  The reason for doing so is that 4.1.1 has a couple of 
particularly nasty bugs, and I would not be in favor of a Debian release 
with them; one of them is also spotted by the LSB internationalization 
tests.

Given the long release cycle of Debian, I'd prefer that 4.0.9 were put 
in sarge rather than 4.1.1, since it has been in use for a while and 
only has a few well-known POSIX-compliancy problems, of secondary 
importance.  Of course, 4.1.2 (already in sid) would be the best choice.

Paolo
