Binary package hint: mawk
Mawk does not support Posix character classes, such as [:upper:] and [:lower:], in regular expressions. This makes it more difficult to write portable Awk scripts (since [A-Z] match lower-case characters in Gawk using non-English locales)
E.G.:
$ echo x | mawk '/[[:lower:]]/'
$ echo x | gawk '/[[:lower:]]/'
x
$
I have fixed this with a patch:
http://www.samiam.org/awk/mawk-1.3.3-posix-char-classes.patch
I will attach this patch to this bug ig Launchpad allows files to be attached to bugs.
