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.
