Ximian All # emerge --pretend supersed

These are the packages that I would merge, in order.

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N   ] sys-apps/supersed-3.58 to /

Ximian All # emerge -b supersed 1>/dev/null
Ximian All # qpkg -f -v `which sed`
sys-apps/sed-3.02.80-r3 *
sys-apps/supersed-3.58 *

Ximian All # emerge -C supersed
 sys-apps/supersed

Ximian All # sed
bash: /bin/sed: No such file or directory

sounds like we need virtual/sed
Comment 1 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-08-23 06:17:20 UTC 
I've changed supersed to install /bin/ssed instead.  So please remerge sed and
supersed if you would like them both.
Comment 2 Maurizio Disimino 2002-08-23 11:58:20 UTC 
ok, I agree. This is right since (I've just seen) supersed is breaking lots of  
packages. Debian provides supersed as 'ssed', too. At least, it will not 
overwrite the traditional sed :) Thanks :)
