Package: arpwatch
Version: 2.1a15-1.2
Severity: normal
When invoking massagevendor, the answer is
awk: cannot open p.awk (No such file or directory)
awk: cannot open duplicates.awk (No such file or directory)awk:
cannot open euppertolower.awk (No such file or directory)
Giving a look at the source of the program, if relies on the setting of AWKPATH,
which is a environmente variable used by gawk (not installed by default), but
not
used by mawk, that is the default awk program installed on a base Debian system.
Apart from modifying the source, a quick solution is to install gawk.
I suppose the package should depend, or at least recommend the package gawk.
Thank you.

Hi Vincenzo,
thanks for reporting the problems with the massagevendor script
supplied as part of the arpwatch package.
Version 2.1a15-3 (which is currently only in experimental due to the
freeze) depends on GNU awk, explicitly calls gawk and is more lenient
regarding whitespace in the supplied oui.txt. For details see the
commit fixing both problems:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-security/arpwatch.git/commit/?id=29d61022dfa3df74b25f9edd674ada6bea65d502
I'm closing the bugs manually since I forgot to reference them in the
changelog.
Regards
