Bug Description
Currently boot-repair uses pastebinit package, which depends on pretty big python-configobj package. Please try to find a lighter alternative.

Hello Mantas,
thanks a lot for reviewing B-R, it's good to have your point of view as an integrator in a distro. I already tried to reduce the size and the nb of dependencies of B-R, but new ideas are very welcome.
IMHO, pastebinit is highly Recommended, nearly Required. It is used by the 2 main options of B-R ("Recommended repair" and "Create BootInfo"), it avoids the text pop-up at the end of the repair (which can be confusing for some users), and it makes the use of B-R easier for both the user (copy/paste the content of a big text in an email, or worse in a forum, is not obvious for everybody) AND for people who help them. recommends) , but it would be a bad present for your distro users.
Installing B-R without pastebinit is possible (--no-install-
However, i'm ok to replace pastebinit by a lighter equivalent if there is one.
Concerning gawk, please fill another bug.
