• Bug#267213: lm-sensors: pwmconfig requires sed version 4

    From Jim Ursetto@1:229/2 to All on Sat Aug 21 09:30:17 2004

    Package: lm-sensors
    Version: 2.8.7-2

    /usr/sbin/pwmconfig calls sed multiple times with a newline character (\n)
    on the right hand side of the substitution operator. However, older
    versions of GNU sed do not support escape sequences. (For example, see http://main.rtfiber.com.tw/~changyj/sed/notes.html.) This causes pwmconfig
    to bomb out at the "Select fan output to configure, or other action:" prompt---specifically line 516.

    Somehow, even though I'm using unstable, I still had sed 3.02-8 on my
    system, which exhibits this behavior. Upgrading to sed 4.1.1-2 fixed the problem. This is probably a rare occurrence, but adding a dependency
    on sed version >= 4 might be helpful.
