Title:
Please update mawk to latest upstream release
Status in mawk package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in mawk package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
mawk in Ubuntu is 18 years old and very buggy (see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=mawk and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mawk , also bugs in other
products, like bug #1331381) :(
Almost all bugs, reported in Ubuntu and Debian are fixed in 1.3.4-nnnn
upstream releases, see http://invisible-island.net/mawk/CHANGES.html
Please update mawk to latest upstream release - all the other major
distributions (Fedora/Redhat, Suse, even FreeBSD) have switched to
mawk 1.3.4-2014nnnn. Five years since the bug asking to upload new
mawk in Debian didn't change anything, so, I'm reporting bug in Ubuntu
- sticking to 1.3.3 is now causing headeach to lots of people rather
than saving from regressions, see for example bug #1005077 :(
Please, update mawk package before major Ubuntu 16.04 LTS release.
