[Bug 400409] Re: RS is readonly

[Boyuan Yang]

This issue is fixed in Ubuntu 20.04 and later releases.

As Ubuntu 18.04 and all earlier releases no longer receive standard
support after 2023-06, the fix won't be available in those Ubuntu
releases through standard channels. If you want to have it fixed via
Ubuntu LTS, please directly consult with Ubuntu LTS persons.

As a result, marking this bug as fix released.

** Changed in: mawk (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released
