Re: [PLUG] Ubuntu mawk instead of gawk

Instead of installing it manually, you probably just install a program
that depends on it.  That's what I end up doing:

    $ apt-cache rdepends gawk \
	    | fgrep -xf  <( dpkg --get-selections | awk '{print "  " $1}' )
      kdesdk-scripts
      dict
      man2html

Once you install gawk on Debian, it becomes your /usr/bin/awk.

P.S.  "Dict is an essential Debian system administration tool" -- I
      can't wait to tell someone that and have them gawk at me.
