Package: apt Version: 0.5.27 (apt 0.5.27 for linux i386 compiled on Jul 29 2004 22:59:33)
apt(sarge) seems to need a minimum version of sed(the sarge one?) sed did not get upgraded when i upgraded apt to the sarge version (using: apt-get install apt) i found it because apt failed to configure python2.3-mysqldb(sarge) until i upgraded sed Other Info: i have no pinning going on i have both woody and sarge in my sources list i refer to woody and sarge literally in sources.list (not stable and testing) following is some shell output that shows the sed error, and how it went away after i upgraded sed. olivia:~# apt-get install dpkg Reading Package Lists...
