Comment 1 Tony Kocurko 2001-12-06 12:58:22 UTC 
In /var/lib/yp/create_printcap, change this string:

  "suffix = delim(++count[name])"

to this string:

  "suffix = delim (++count[name])"

Notice that in the version as supplied, the lack of a space between the variable
name "delim" and the expression "(++count[name])" causes gawk to treat the right
hand side as a function invocation rather than as a concatenation, as was
clearly intended by the author.
