Title:
factor compiled without bignum support
Status in coreutils package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in coreutils package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
factor (from GNU coreutils) in Ubuntu Lucid appears to be compiled without
bignum support. According to the info page:
If `factor' is built without using GNU MP, only single-precision
arithmetic is available, and so large numbers (typically 2^64 and
above) will not be supported.
Example:
user@host:/$ factor 123456789098765432123456789
factor: `123456789098765432123456789' is too large
In order to limit dependencies of the basic coreutils package, perhaps
a bignum-supporting version should be packaged separately.
