Package: gawk Version: 1:4.0.1+dfsg-2 Severity: serious The Debian changelog for this version mentions:
,---- | -Change Pre-Depends to Depends (OK now that base-files Pre-Depends: awk) `---- This is not correct and needs to be reverted, since it means that gawk might be unpacked before its dependencies during upgrades. If the awk alternative is set to gawk, other packages which are unpacked in the same run and use awk in their pre{inst,rm} scripts which fail. This is not unlikely to happen in squeeze -> wheezy upgrades, since gawk in wheezy gained a new dependency on libsigsegv2. Both mawk and original-awk use Pre-Depends for that reason. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.8.2-nouveau (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gawk depends on: ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libreadline6 6.2+dfsg-0.1 ii libsigsegv2 2.9-4 gawk recommends no packages.
