Title: Mawk does not support Posix character classes in expressions Status in mawk package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mawk package in Debian: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: mawk Mawk does not support Posix character classes, such as [:upper:] and [:lower:], in regular expressions.
