Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gawk
Using gawk 3.1.4 I tried to make a simple script:
ls -ld /tmp/ | awk '/^.{4}r/{print "TEST"}'
On a computer that has read permissions on /tmp.
And I got no output.
When doing it the same without the interval:
ls -ld /tmp/ | awk '/^....r/{print "TEST"}'
I received the correct output.
This script worked on an IBM AIX 6.1 machine, i.e. it printed TEST.
Using Karmic.
