Hi,
The input file has some pattern match related characters like []. I have not tested the below code. Make a try with this.
Code:
awk '{$0=gensub(/([\]\[\(\)\{\}])/,"\\\1","g",$0);t=$0;r=$1"";sub(r,"",t);if(a[$1]!~t){a[$1]=a[$1]""t;}else{if(!a[$1]){a[$1]=t;}}}END{for(i in a){print i,a[i];}}' file1
you have to escape the special characters before going to use those in regex. You can also use quotemeta function in perl and then pass those output lines to awk.
Cheers,
Ranga:-)

update-metainit
UPDATE-METAINIT(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation UPDATE-METAINIT(1)NAME
update-metainit - Generates init scripts
SYNOPSIS
update-metainit [--remove initname [--purge] ]
DESCRIPTION
Metainit solves the problem of writing good init scripts. Instead of manually creating these important files, they are derived from a
declaritive description in the metainit files in /etc/metainit. These files can be shipped with packages or created by the local adminis-
trator.
If update-metainit called without argument, it will regenerate init scripts for all the files in /etc/metainit. The generated files contain
a large warning in form of a comment that they will be overridden. Modifications are preferably done in the files in /etc/metainit and made
effective by running update-metainit. If needed, the administrator can prevent modified init files by removing the warning comment.
OPTIONS --remove initname
This command will remove any generated and non-modified scripts that were created by the metainit file with the name initname.
--purge
Only usable with --remove. Will remove the generated files even if modified.
