Package: src:lprng
Version: 3.8.B-8
Tags: patch
Dear maintainer:
I noticed that lprng build-depends on mawk | gawk.
This build-dependency may be dropped because the package actually needs "awk",
and awk is essential, in the sense that a version of awk is always guaranteed
to be present on the system (this was implemented in base-files version 1.7,
a long time ago, to avoid dependencies and build-dependencies on awk).
Trivial patch attached.
(Note: I've also built lprng using original-awk, and the resulting .debs
are byte-by-byte identical).
Thanks.
