awk FIELDWIDTHS howto?



Hello!

I try to use awk to print second field from a text file
but awk prints a part of 1. field as a 2. field. Why?

aptitude search ~i | awk '{ NF = "2" } { FIELDWIDTHS = " 4 32 " }
{print $2}' > foltelepitett_debian_csomagok

less foltelepitett_debian_csomagok

..
bsdmainutils
bsdutils
busybox
A
ca-certificates
checksecurity
..

Any advices will be appreciated!
