Package: r-base-core
Version: 3.5.1-1+b2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
# To reproduce:
Attempt to execute on the command line,
$ Rscript -e 'message("OK")'
or
$ R -e 'message("OK")'
# Expected result:
R starts, prints "OK", and then exits.
# Actual result:
/usr/lib/R/bin/R: line 193: /usr/bin/sed: No such file or directory
ERROR: option '-e' requires a non-empty argument
or
/usr/bin/R: line 193: /usr/bin/sed: No such file or directory
ERROR: option '-e' requires a non-empty argument
respectively.
# Other notes:
The severity is bordering on "grave", but, since it technically does not break
*all* usage (including just starting R without arguments), I am flagging it as
"important".
The problem appears to be on line 122 of /usr/lib/R/bin/R and /usr/bin/R, where
between r-base-core 3.5.1-1+b1 and 3.5.1-1+b2,
SED=/bin/sed
changed to
SED=/usr/bin/sed
whereas Debian puts the executable in question in /bin/sed . I've grepped
through the R-related files for "/usr/bin/sed", and these might be affected:
/usr/lib/R/bin/R
/usr/lib/R/bin/libtool
/usr/lib/R/etc/Renviron.orig
/usr/lib/R/etc/Renviron.ucf
/usr/bin/R
