Description Sorrow 2017-10-10 15:07:37 UTC 
I got multiple awk errors when tried to use xdg-utils and xdg-settings. For example:

$~ xdg-mime query default text/html
awk: cmd. line:13: Unexpected token
awk: cmd. line:13: Unexpected token
awk: cmd. line:13: Unexpected token
firefox.desktop

After some testing I've found the reason: awk funnction "length" is used without parenthesis which is unsupported by gawk. I've created simple patch to fix this.
