What exactly are these version numbers? Are they packages from some Linux distrbution? > Repeat-By: > contents of tmp.sh begins -------- > #!/usr/bin/env bash > a=1 > printf "%.2f\n" "$a" > contents of tmp.sh ends ---------- > > 5.2.026-2> ./tmp.sh > 1.00 > > 5.2.026-3> ./tmp.hs > nan > > Fix: > I don't understand what is happening, my current fix is downgrading to > 5.2.026-2. You didn't show us the contents of the script that produces "nan" as output. You only showed the script that produces "1.00". I can't reproduce this result using a self-compiled bash 5.2.26 on my system: hobbit:~$ bash-5.2.26 -c 'printf "%.2f\n" 1' 1.00 hobbit:~$ bash-5.2.26 -c 'echo "$BASH_VERSION"' 5.2.26(6)-release If "5.2.026-3" is some Linux vendor's package version, then it sounds like they introduced a patch which causes the change in behavior. You should contact them, via whatever bug reporting system they offer.
