Update of bug #28115 (project coreutils): Status: None => Invalid Open/Closed: Open => Closed _______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #1: Not a coreutils bug. There has been no change in this behavior in coreutils' printf: $ /bin/printf --version | head -n1 printf (GNU coreutils) 6.10 $ src/printf --version | head -n2 printf (GNU coreutils) 8.1.2-f18ee $ /bin/printf '%.*sn' 3 ----- --- $ src/printf '%.*sn' 3 ----- --- Rather, what you are probably seeing is that your current shell's printf built-in does not implement the same POSIX extensions as GNU coreutils' printf. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?28115> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
