Okay, so the problem here (per our conversation on irc) is that awk
doesn't exist yet, because it's an alternatives. We could use mawk
explicitely, except that it's only pseudo essential - The system
promises to have an awk, just not when we're being configured.
debootstrap solves the problem for us by creating the link, but there is
a new monster on the rise that doesn't hold that promise. =) We could
test for awk, and if that's not present use mawk. That just seems
fUgly.
waldi provided the solution that I'm using now: Avoid awk in
non-upgrade mode.
kernel_rev=$(uname -r | tr -- - . | cut -d. -f3)
About to commit, tagging this bug pending.
Tks,
Jeff Bailey
