A change in awk prevents me from installing crouton-fedora-wayland?

Hi there,

I was following the install instructions, when this happened:

chronos@localhost ~/Downloads $ sudo sh ./crouton-fedora-wayland-master/installer/main.sh -r fedora -t fedora

Googling the error message lead me to this, which lead me to this. Speculation: awk has changed, crouton has updated to match (there may be other patches related to this change), but crouton-fedora-wayland is using an older crouton.
