Topic

Updated sed packages that fix three bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Sed is a stream or batch non-interactive editor. It takes text as input,
performs an operation or set of operations on the text, and outputs the modified
text.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • When the "--copy" option was used with the sed utility, sed created a back-up

copy of the original file. However, the back-up file was not deleted after a
successful operation. A patch has been provided to address this bug and back-up
files are now properly deleted in the described scenario. (BZ#709956)

  • Previously, the sed test suite was setting locale for UTF-8 variants

incorrectly. Consequently, operation of the rpmbuild utility could fail, among
other issues. This bug has been fixed and the test suite now sets the locale
correctly. (BZ#724962)

  • A static analysis tool discovered several minor file I/O resource leaks, which

occurred when sed encountered an error. This bug has been fixed and the leaks no
longer occur. (BZ#812316)

All users of sed are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
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
