Package: libpaper1
Version: 1.1.23
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 3.5

The postinst script for libpaper1 uses awk to select the MD5 sum out of
the output of `md5sum`. However, this package does not declare a
dependency on awk, so when I tried to install it on a new `testing`
system, the postinst failed.

I think the easiest fix is to use 'cut' from coreutils instead. The
command `awk '{print $1}'` can be replaced with `cut -d' ' -f1` in this
case. The coreutils package is marked Essential, so no new dependency is
required.
