Package: mawk
Version: 1.3.3-11
Severity: important
The mawk program doesn't match the following (examples):
Quantities (ERE):
$ echo AAAA | mawk '/A{4}/ { print; }'
$
Character classes (BRE/ERE):
$ echo " test" | mawk '/^[[:space:]]*test/ { print; }'
$
Probably other {B,E}RE stuff, too, I didn't check all.
Since regular expressions provide a main functionality of AWK, I
classified it as 'important'.
That may give hints to a problem with the used RE backend.
