Package: zsh
Version: 4.2.5-7
Severity: normal
I'm reporting this from a similar but different machine than the one
where the problem occured, so do not pay too much attention to the
automatically attached system info please.
The problem is this:
I mix a woody system with a zsh/unstable package. When the zsh-4.2.5-7
upgrade ran through the /var/lib/dpkg/info/zsh.preinst script, it
failed.
This script contains this line:
old_md5sum="`sed -n -e \"/^Conffiles:/,/^[^ ]/{\\\\' $CONFFILE'{s/.*
//;p}}\" /var/lib/dpkg/status`"
Woody contains sed-3.02-8 and this old version of sed does not
understand this line. So preinst fails which is pretty dangerous,
because when preinst runs, the currently running zsh is already
removed from the disk.
So I'd venture, this is a severe bug, not a normal one except for the
fact that only few people will do such a mish mash.
So please, add a dependency to the zsh package on sed. I do not know
which version of sed does the right thing, but cycling through
stable/testing/unstable teaches me that 3.02 fails and both 4.1.2 and
4.1.4 succeed on a similar piece of code as demonstrated in th
following:

So you may consider a dependency on >=4.1.2 would be sufficient for
the Debian community.
