Description:   Opened: 2005-02-15 10:43 0000
AWK is needed by the boot scripts to boot the system. On a Linux system boot
should not depend on /usr being mounted, only /lib, /bin/, /sbin, and /etc. The
new gawk-3.1.4-r2 builds with a dependency on /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 (check by
'ldd /bin/awk') and this renders many systems unbootable as awk is needed by
boot scripts. My LVM2 systems cannot boot without a downgrade to
sys-apps/gawk/gawk-3.1.3-r2. I have had to chroot from a LiveCD and downgrade
to correct this on all my systems.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -Du gawk 
2. reboot
3. system replies "awk: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.0"
4. System cannot run lvm utilities. All report "Locking type1 intialization
failed"


Actual Results:  
System won't boot up properly. /etc/init.d/checkfs can't run without working
awk.

Expected Results:  
Do not depend on libexpat or move it to /lib
