Package: autoconf Version: 2.10-1 The autoconf script has mawk hard-wired into it, instead of just awk (which of course can be gawk or mawk, or any other awk interpreter). Please note that autoconf does not depends on mawk, nor should it. Other paths (for example m4) are absolute but this may not be a real problem, though someone may want to have another m4 (for example in /usr/local/bin) used if first in PATH. Yves.
