Package: bash
Version: 5.2.32-1
The Bash shell's built-in printf produces garbage number output in
current Debian Testing (2024-09-11), while Debian 11 and Debian 12 are
fine. Also, the output of /usr/bin/printf is fine in all tested Debian
versions.
To reproduce:
nornetpp@localhost:~$ printf "%10.0f\n" 12345678

The output seems to be random garbage, may be the input is taken from
uninitialised memory?
With /usr/bin/printf (provided by coreutils), the output is as expected:
nornetpp@localhost:~$ /usr/bin/printf "%10.0f\n" 12345678
12345678
nornetpp@localhost:~$ /usr/bin/printf "%10.0f\n" 12345678
