Package: mc
Version: 2:4.6.2~git20080311-2+b1
Severity: normal

Hello,

I get errors like "mawk not found" from mc vfs scripts (eg. when opening a rar archive in mc). Indeed:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ fgrep mawk /usr/share/mc/extfs/*
/usr/share/mc/extfs/audio: RESPONSE=`wget -q -T $CDDB_TIMEOUT -O - "$CDDB_SERVER/~cddb/cddb.cgi?cmd=cddb+query+$DISCID&$CDDB_HANDSHAKE" | tee "$3" | mawk '/^200/ { print $2,$3; }'`
/usr/share/mc/extfs/hp48:AWK=mawk
/usr/share/mc/extfs/iso9660:$ISOINFO -l -i "$1" | mawk '
/usr/share/mc/extfs/lslR:AWK=mawk
/usr/share/mc/extfs/ualz: $UNALZ -l "$1" | mawk -v uid=`id -nu` -v gid=`id -ng` '
/usr/share/mc/extfs/uarj: $ARJ v "$1" | mawk -v uuid=${UID-0} '
/usr/share/mc/extfs/uha: $HA lf "$1" 2>/dev/null | mawk -v uid=${UID-0} '
/usr/share/mc/extfs/ulha:AWK=mawk
/usr/share/mc/extfs/urar: $UNRAR v -c- "$1" | mawk -v uid=`id -u` -v gid=`id -g` '
/usr/share/mc/extfs/uzoo:    $ZOO lq "$ARCHIVE" | mawk -v uid=${UID-0} '

I think that if the scripts depend specifically on mawk, mc should at leas recommend it. Even better, if this dependency is not crucial (ie. the scripts work with gawk, too), they should be changed not to require mawk.
