Package: debootstrap Version: 1.0.89 Severity: normal It might be useful for Debian or derivatives to change the default awk provider, which currently is mawk - a package that has de facto been unmaintained in Debian for several years. The original-awk package is in my experience considerably less buggy and similarly small.
However, all the scripts/* files in debootstrap currently hardcode mawk, making it impossible to swap the priorities of mawk and original-awk without instantly breaking debootstrap. :-( -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.24-nouveau (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages debootstrap depends on: ii wget 1.19.1-3 Versions of packages debootstrap recommends: ii debian-archive-keyring 2014.3 ii gnupg 2.1.18-6 debootstrap suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
