Public bug reported:
while running update-grub or grub-mkconfig the program tries to call
'gawk'.
however the grub packages dont depend on gawk so gawk is not installed.
so we get this error, in this case when looking for a BSD partition
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
/usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/90bsd-distro: 17:
/usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/90bsd-distro: gawk: not found
