Package: xml-core
Version: 0.18+nmu1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

xml-core depends on sed (>= 4.1.2-8). However, looking at sed, I don’t
see the reason why this particular version, and it’s not even in
oldoldstable anymore anyway. Please consider dropping the versioned
requirement and replacing it with a plain one.

Thanks.

Hi Andrej,

Thanks for the report.
It indeed doesn't makes sense anymore and I don't have the entire
history of it so I'm not sure why it was setup this way.
I'll clean that up.

Thanks,
Joseph

Just FYI this specific version was fixing #248910.
I agree this can be removed as this condition is supported by all the
debian versions we have,
However I need to do a bit of digging on whether we need to have sed
as a dependency at all. It looks like this dependency wouldn't be
needed anymore after #687109 but I'll need to do some testing to
confirm.

Thanks,
Joseph
