It's not just Fedora 42; OpenSUSE did the same back in last August: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt-ci/-/merge_requests/425 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1214365#c6 I wonder if distros that provide shortcuts for setting up a devel environment (such as installing gcc, make, etc) should make sure awk is part of that common devel environment. But yeah, we are now at the point where it is no longer reasonable to assume that awk is available on every bare-bones distro, and so we either need to tweak autoconf to avoid awk (hard) or to at least alert the user that their environment is too bare-bones, and they need to adjust their CI setup to install just a bit more. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
