Description of problem: Actual 'awk' text in the external vfs scripts is missing, causing many vfs types to fail (at least lslr, ualz, uarj, uha, ulha, urar, and uzoo). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F8 and development. F6 is OK, didn't check F7 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: (using rar as an example) 1.Install F8 2.Install mc, urar (or rar) 3.Open mc, try to open a rar (or other type listed above) Actual results: Smth like: "-v: command not found" Expected results: mc pane with rar archive contents Additional info: Looks like awk was not found when 'configure' was run during RPM build. IE, in /usr/share/mc/extfs/urar, we have for F6: $UNRAR v -c- "$1" | gawk -v uid=`id -u` -v gid=`id -g` ' In F8, we have: $UNRAR v -c- "$1" | -v uid=`id -u` -v gid=`id -g` ' Note missing gawk command. Is awk considered part of a minimal Fedora install? Other extfs scripts use perl or sed. If we don't want to require awk, maybe time to look again at bz 223726, suggesting splitting mc extfs into a separate package.
Yes, update to F8 which fixes this was pushed yesterday. Thanks for the description and investigation though! The bug was introduces when experiments with minimal buildroot contents were made and gawk was erroneously excluded from the minimal list. gawk is back again now. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 381751 ***
