Are there any symlinks to awk (in case of gawk, mawk)?
Yes, Debian has a system called alternatives, each package providing awk is registered through this system, with different "priorities". Here is an article on debian-administration.org about this system: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/91 In my case (ie. the default case), awk is an indirect symlink to mawk: $ ls -l /usr/bin/awk lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 28 févr. 18:15 /usr/bin/awk -> /etc/alternatives/awk $ ls -l /etc/alternatives/awk awk awk.1.gz $ ls -l /etc/alternatives/awk lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 28 févr. 18:15 /etc/alternatives/awk -> /usr/bin/mawk If I install gawk, then awk is an indirect symlink to gawk (gawk having a higher priority than mawk): $ update-alternatives --list awk /usr/bin/gawk /usr/bin/mawk $ LANG=C update-alternatives --display awk awk - auto mode link currently points to /usr/bin/gawk /usr/bin/gawk - priority 10 slave awk.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/gawk.1.gz slave nawk: /usr/bin/gawk slave nawk.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/gawk.1.gz /usr/bin/mawk - priority 5 slave awk.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/mawk.1.gz slave nawk: /usr/bin/mawk slave nawk.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/mawk.1.gz Current `best' version is /usr/bin/gawk.
