Comment 21 for bug 553237

This bug is not fixed. Upon install of adjtimex I experienced the awk errors reported above by others. You can avoid seeing the awk errors if you fix some BIOS flag, we're told. That's a *different* problem you've fixed, that just suppresses the symptom. The awk error still exists. adjtimex does not work out of the box. Currently the only easy workaround to the awk error is to install karmic's version of the package. Neither that nor the BIOS tinkering is for the ordinary Ubuntu user. This bug still exists. Please re-open.
