I only mentioned 4.7-RC (although > I am operating on memory here; it was RELENG_4 on Oct. 4 or 5.), and > 4.7-PRELEASE. He mentioned 4.6.2 because the MFC for sed to accept -i took place on June 26. Hence, any -stable system after that date doesn't have a problem, but any system based on RELENG_4_6 (including 4.6.2) does. However, those earlier systems will automatically install sed_inplace from the ports. If you have a kernel from later than June 26 but a userland from earlier, you will see exactly the problem you're seeing (sed_inplace won't be installed since your system is identified as not having the problem, but your old sed won't accept -i). No commits have been made to src/usr.bin/sed since there was a working version there, hence our belief that your problem is local. It's true that my sed is from October 2, when I last built world, but like I said, there haven't been any commits to sed since then. -David -- When ideas fail, words come in very handy. -Goethe Astronomy and Astrophysics Center The University of Chicago To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
