System: FreeBSD catbert.rotfl.com.au 5.4-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p6 #0: Mon Aug 15 13:12:48 CST 2005 root@catbert.rotfl.com.au:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/CATBERT i386
>Description:
The comms/hylafax notification program notify(8) uses awk to format the
e-mail notification.
The awk script is not compatible with the /usr/bin/awk in the base system
and only works with the gawk port.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install the comms/hylafax port, then:
# /var/spool/hylafax/bin/notify doneq/q19 done 60
/usr/bin/awk: illegal primary in regular expression * at
source line number 37
context is
>>> gsub("*","",status) <<< ;
[: -gt: unexpected operator
sendmail: fatal: No recipient addresses found in message header
>Fix:
The temporary fix is to install the lang/gawk port, then manually edit
/var/spool/hylafax/etc/setup.cache and change the AWK path to point to the
gawk executable.
The permanent fix is to make comms/hylafax dependent on lang/gawk and then
ensure that gawk gets selected as the awk program as part of configure.
