Topic

An updated sed package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The sed package provides is a stream or batch (non-interactive) editor that
takes text as input, performs an operation or a set of operations on the text,
and outputs the modified text.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Prior to this update, the is_selinux_disabled() function was not correctly

checked. With this update, this check returns the correct value and now the
check works as expected. (BZ#721349)

  • Prior to this update, the behavior of the i/--in-place option for symlinks and

hardlinks was not clearly documented. With this update, the manpage and the user
documentation has been improved and this problem is resolved. (BZ#679921)

All sed users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these
bugs.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
