Package: dict
Version: 1.11.2+dfsg-2
Severity: normal

The dict package has an annoying dependence on gawk. This drags gawk onto the
installation, even if an alternative awk interpreter is available. By manually
removing gawk, the dict client continues to operate normally, so this
dependency can be dropped from the package.

Mark.
