Package: gawk
Version: 1:4.0.1+dfsg-2
Severity: serious
The Debian changelog for this version mentions:
,----
| -Change Pre-Depends to Depends (OK now that base-files Pre-Depends: awk)
`----
This is not correct and needs to be reverted, since it means that gawk
might be unpacked before its dependencies during upgrades. If the awk
alternative is set to gawk, other packages which are unpacked in the
same run and use awk in their pre{inst,rm} scripts which fail. This is
not unlikely to happen in squeeze -> wheezy upgrades, since gawk in
wheezy gained a new dependency on libsigsegv2.
Both mawk and original-awk use Pre-Depends for that reason.
