I have tested this on the live system of Ubuntu MATE (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-mate/daily-live/20191010/eoan-desktop-amd64.iso).
Here we have only `mawk` package pre-installed. Such a system does not have `gawk` installed.

Aptitude says that `mawk` was installed because of `ubuntu-minimal` (also see see https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/ubuntu-minimal ):

```
aptitude why mawk
i ubuntu-minimal Depends mawk
```

The system installed from netboot.iso (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/eoan/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso) is affected too.

So really It seems that `mawk` package is buggy.

It would be really great if you fix this package before final release of 19.10.
Or change `ubuntu-minimal` dependency on `mawk` to `gawk`.
