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.
