Description Nathan Babb 2002-08-14 12:24:57 UTC
Package "app-text/acroread-5.06-r1" now depends on supersed.  Acroread itself  
does not use supersed, it's used only while running the ebuild.  The problem 
is that supersed overwrites sed but sed is part of the default system profile 
while supersed is not.
Comment 1 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-08-14 12:48:54 UTC
supersed will, at some point in the near future, become the default system sed,
in fact.

however, for now, the dependency has been removed.
