The reason that this does not fail on _all_ hosts is that there _has_ to be those files there to begin with, as "rm -f /usr/lib/gawk/some_nonexistent_file" is not an error, and hence this won't fail on ubuntu 14.10 for example. It fails for me because my build machine is itself running on a build of yocto, and hence we see this host contamination issue clearly, as the gawk libraries are installed to the same path. 43982 1 paulg 2014-06-16 14:05:04 +0000 Fix sent to oe-core here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openembedded.core/52268 Portion of fix not yet upstream sent for gawk maintainers here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gawk/2014-06/msg00001.html 44039 2 paulg 2014-06-17 17:43:38 +0000 yocto commit c7bfbabab7274f31be9e484bbe277cf9d011072c (From OE-Core rev: 8c7a883964e45e7b48b943731bd3b3da0cc289d9) 46987 3 sgw 2014-11-13 17:10:52 +0000 *** Bug 6415 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
