Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Use sed/awk to do like copy and paste Post 302973637 by Corona688 on Thursday 19th of May 2016 02:10:35 PM

Sorry about that, ubuntu uses mawk by default these days as it's faster.

It should work with nearly any version of GNU awk. It even works with busybox's minimal awk. But mawk lacks -e, annoyingly.

You can work around that by just adding the lines to the file as noted above.

seeded-in-ubuntu [options] package... DESCRIPTION
Lists all the current daily images containing the specified packages. Or whether the package is part of the supported seed. If it isn't on an image, it should be safe to upload. During the final freeze, one should avoid packages in the supported seed too. An index of the current manifests is downloaded from UbuntuWire. OPTIONS
