Problem

If awk is not installed, there are error messages on the console during a firstboot workflow.

Fix

Require awk in the spec file.

Explicitly using awk and not gawk (the GNU version of awk) so lighterweight alternatives like busybox can be used if they provide the awk symbol (which busybox currently does not).

What about other Common Linux Tools?

Many are part of the coreutils package which we already require. Others are so common that a Linux system has little chance of working when they are missing, such as grep or sed: A lot of other packages depend on them.
