Package: bash Source: bash Version: 5.2.21-2.1+b1 Severity: normal Tags: patch, upstream
Dear Debian support, latest debian testing package bash provides wrong output when using built-in “printf” - steps to reproduce: LC_ALL=C bash -c 'printf "%.0f\n” 4.3’ 0 previous version, 5.2.21-2.1 release in June is not affected: LC_ALL=C bash -c 'printf "%.0f\n” 4.3’ 4 given that no modifications to source code have been introduced between the two versions, this issue might be related to compilation against newer glibc - recompiling source package exhibits the same printf breakage (glibc=2.39.6) This issue might be the tracked by: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/bash/-/issues/3 and can be solved by integrating "bash-5.2_p21-configure-strtold.patch” which can be found @ https://packages.hetzner.com/gentoo-portage/app-shells/bash/files/bash-5.2_p21-configure-strtold.patch I already tested it by integrating and recompiling source and binary package to 5.2.21-2.1+b2 locally: attached for your convenience you can find bash-5.2_p21-configure-strtold.diff converted and ready to be dropped in “debian/patches” Hope it helps Thank you for your support Alessandro Lannocca
