Package: mawk Version: 1.3.3-11 Followup-For: Bug #23001
gawk, mawk and original-awk all exhibit the same behaviour if you try and include a file that doesnt exist in the first example, you get return code 2 This is because the code is trying to launch a non-existant awk script, in just the same way as if you had typed: awk -f idontexist To fix this feature mawk would need a flag to tell it to ignore and not report missing files... Suerly it would make more sense to check the file exited beforehand? suggest this is tagged wishlist,upstream or wontfix -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages mawk depends on: ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries mawk recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
