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.
