I just upgraded sed and found that the sed-4.5-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm package has broken symlinks for the sed binaries.  The links don't have the absolute path to /opt/freeware/bin as below:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 3256 staff   22 Mar 29 07:27 /usr/linux/bin/sed -> ./opt/freeware/bin/sed
lrwxrwxrwx 1 3256 staff   25 Mar 29 07:27 /usr/linux/bin/sed_32 -> ./opt/freeware/bin/sed_32
lrwxrwxrwx 1 3256 staff   25 Mar 29 07:27 /usr/linux/bin/sed_64 -> ./opt/freeware/bin/sed_64

In contrast the previous sed package had this link which is correct:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 208  staff   29 Mar 29 07:27 /usr/linux/bin/sed -> ../../../opt/freeware/bin/sed

yes, it is broken. 

For the time being. one have to use /opt/freeware/bin/sed instead of /usr/linux/bin/sed. 

We will be fixing in the next release.
