I have tested this on the live system of Ubuntu MATE (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-mate/daily-live/20191010/eoan-desktop-amd64.iso). Here we have only `mawk` package pre-installed. Such a system does not have `gawk` installed.
Aptitude says that `mawk` was installed because of `ubuntu-minimal` (also see see https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/ubuntu-minimal ): ``` aptitude why mawk i ubuntu-minimal Depends mawk ``` The system installed from netboot.iso (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/eoan/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso) is affected too. So really It seems that `mawk` package is buggy. --- It would be really great if you fix this package before final release of 19.10. Or change `ubuntu-minimal` dependency on `mawk` to `gawk`. ** No longer affects: ubuntu-mate-meta (Ubuntu) ** No longer affects: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mawk in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1845529 Title: bash completion in 19.10 shows `awk: line 18: function gensub never defined` on ``umount /dev/<Tab>` Status in bash-completion package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mawk package in Ubuntu: New Status in Debian: Confirmed Bug description: Steps to reproduce: 1.
