Bug#314571: xserver-xfree86: lack of awk causes preconfig to fail

I would rather have apt make sure that nothing happends between mawk is removed and gawk is installed. Shouldn't this bug be reassigned to apt then? Or, if it isn't reproducible, closed.

Bug#314571: xserver-xfree86: lack of awk causes preconfig to fail
Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 Severity: normal -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 When installing several new systems today, I noted that if mawk (part of the base installation) is slated for removal and both xserver-xfree86 and gawk are slated for installation at the same time, mawk is removed first, and (since the order of installation is not deterministic) if xserver-xfree86 is upacked and preconfigured before gawk, it fails. xserver-xfree86 (and any other packages that rely on awk) should Pre-Depend on awk. - -Roberto - -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-miami-15.3 Locale: LANG=es_ES, LC_CTYPE=es_ES (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages xserver-xfree86 depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0]1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii libc62.3.2.ds1-22GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-13 GCC support library hi xfree86-common 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System (XFree86) infrastr hi xserver-common 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 files and utilities common to all ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime - -- debconf information excluded -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCsnFhTfhoonTOp2oRAt5DAKDZORXN5pg8p5uzpwn1vYcLuLbYAACguThz pqOdsuKo0mjPQbZM5FJlT3E= =MbKA -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
