MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gawk-fake [2]: Unused shim package with a wrong, misleading name. core/gawk is part of base and base-devel: it should not be "faked out" on an Arch Linux installation. Better to delete, and safe to do so. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gawk-fake/
