[Bug 255232] P

--- Comment #1 from Gordon <gordon.friedman at hotmail.com> ---
FreeBSD 13 changed the way sed and grep operate.

>From the release notes:

"The regex(3) function no longer accepts redundant escapes for most ordinary
characters. This will cause applications such as sed(1) and grep(1) to reject
regular expressions using these escapes. adeebf4cd47c"

The pdfjam script from the texlive port no longer operates as intended.

The sed directive from the pdfjam script throws an error:

pdfjam "input.pdf" 1-20 -o output.pdf
sed: 1: "/\\\usepackage{hyperref}/d": RE error: trailing backslash (\)
sed: 1: "/\\\hypersetup.*/d": RE error: trailing backslash (\)
sed: 1: "/\\\usepackage.*{geomet ...": RE error: trailing backslash (\)
sed: 1: "/\\\usepackage.*{color}/d": RE error: trailing backslash (\)

This is probably an easy fix, although I am not knowledgeable enough to know
where to start.  I believe this only affects FreeBSD 13 and later releases.
