Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

nm-vpn-properties needs awk on startup. It looks for it in /bin/awk but is installed in /usr/bin/awk. I had to set a symlink to get it starting and save my configuration. The package has no dependency to awk defined.

I actually thought awk was marked as essential, but you're right. I'll
upload a fix later today. Thanks for your bug report.

Cheers.

This is apparently still a problem is gutsy.
Do I need to create a new bug and reference this one, or re-open this bug?
