Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mawk
'mawk -F '\0' '{print $1}''' doesn't give the expected result.
Mawk version of Ubuntu 10.10.
How to reproduce:
-----------------------
Download the last development version of boot_info_script:
wget -O boot_info_script.sh
'http://bootinfoscript.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=bootinfoscript/bootinfoscript;a=blob_plain;f=boot_info_script-gawk.sh;hb=HEAD'
Replace gawk with mawk:
sed -e 's|gawk|mawk|' boot_info_script-gawk.sh >
boot_info_script-mawk-1.3.3.sh
Copy grldr (grub4dos) file to the root of a drive:
http://code.google.com/p/grub4dos-chenall/downloads/list
Run boot_info_script-gawk.sh and boot_info_script-mawk-1.3.3.sh:
sudo bash boot_info_script-gawk.sh RESULT-gawk.txt
sudo bash boot_info_script-mawk-1.3.3.sh RESULT-mawk-1.3.3.txt
Compare the output files:
diff -u RESULT-mawk-1.3.3.txt RESULT-gawk.txt
If you also have grub(2) or Syslinux installed, you will see something like

================================================================
You will see that the embedded grub4dos config file is not extracted right
(mawk -F '\0').
You can also notice that mawk 1.3.3 calculates the values of "GiB - GB" wrong.
I found a version of mawk, maintained by a new developer:
http://invisible-island.net/mawk/
New mawk changelog (debian patches included + new things):
http://invisible-island.net/mawk/CHANGES
When I compile this version of mawk and do:
sed -e 's|gawk|/home/user/mawk-1.3.4-20100625/mawk|' boot_info_script-gawk.sh
> boot_info_script-mawk-1.3.4.sh
sudo bash boot_info_script-mawk-1.3.4.sh
diff -u RESULT-mawk-1.3.4.txt RESULT-gawk.txt
The output of the mawk-1.3.4 and gawk version are exactly the same.
This new version of mawk probably solves a lot of the outstanding bugs on this
list too.
Can the last version of mawk-1.3.4 be included in Ubuntu 11.04 and Ubuntu 10.10?
