This bugzilla has Keywords: Regression. Since no regressions are allowed between releases, it is also being proposed as a blocker for this release. Please resolve ASAP. Are you sure this is the correct version from el5, it has the fc6 dist tag. Event posted on 06-16-2009 04:50am EDT by spoyarek Yes, verified once again from RHN. It's in the "Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 for $arch)" channels. This event sent from IssueTracker by spoyarek issue 276041 Ok, so this problem is in RHEL5 since GA. Than I don't understand why it is marked as regression. Since the patch looks simple enough, I'm removing the regression flag and proposing this bug for 5.5 fastrack. Event posted on 06-16-2009 05:21am EDT by spoyarek It is a regression of the latest patch (Fix handling of relative symlinks (#205122)), which is why I marked it as such. I accidentally overlooked the fact that it was the first RHEL-5 released package.

Created attachment 335365 [details] patch to find basename using basename rather than dirname Description of problem: When executing on a symlink in present working directory, sed does not build the original path correctly, thus failing to follow the symlink. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sed-4.1.5-5.fc6 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" >1 2. ln -s 1 2 3. sed -i -e 's/z/a/g' 2 Actual results: sed: ck_follow_symlink: couldn't lstat 2/1: Not a directory Expected results: All z's in the file should be replaced with a's.
