Hi, Awk (gawk) is installed on the host system but is not used when cdebootstrapping, instead it tries to use the half installed gawk in the root filesystem. Unfortunately the symlinks from gawk to awk has not yet been setup and thus postinst fails. If i understand correctly dpkg which is an essential package should not depend on a non essential package aka awk.
