Why is my sed now not working, it did a couple of months ago

Hi :)
I use sed to patch my pacman.conf file to add the multilib but for the last about 2 or 3 months it won't work.
The only thing I can think of is that the ISO that came those months had something changed.
Is use this:
Code:sed -i 'N; s/^#\[multilib\]\n#Include/\[multilib\]\nInclude/' /etc/pacman.confIn vim I checked that the line ends right after the ']' on the [multilib] line with 'set list'
What is going on here, have they changed the way sed works 'cos what ever I do I can't get it to work.
