 Thanks for the replies, prior to copying the libintl.so.9 around I tried
 both removing gsed and simply renaming the /usr/local/bin/sed binary so
 that it might use the system sed - neither worked prior to following the
 UPDATING.txt steps.
 
 pkg which "/usr/local/bin/sed"
 /usr/local/bin/sed was not found in the database
 
 I certainly have sed (at least gsed) installed however [gsed-4.2.1_2]
