I read the discussion at https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg1642443.html and it looks as if they fixed the discrepancy at version 3.5.1-2. Which means if we want to keep sed in /bin instead of /usr/bin we may have to patch both packages sed and r-base. Or maybe add a symblic link to make sed accessible from /usr/bin instead of just /bin. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
