The CVS id suggests that there were multiple patches in that update, so you might be able to get a more targetted patch from him. The changes can be found in the changes to collect_RE() from commit http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/mawk.git;a=commit;h=7c435c1f I’m not linking to the diff because without ignoring whitespace (i.e., without ‘git show -w’) there’s too much noise. That patch breaks regexps such as [a[]. You can find a series of related fixes here: http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/mawk.git;a=commitdiff;h=b59d681;hp=770b12a (Merge branch 'jn/cclass', 2010-01-30, applied upstream in mawk 1.3.4-20100131). You may need the fix from Bug #65617 for this patch to apply. Hope that helps, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
