Public bug reported:
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:
u...@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.
** Affects: coreutils (Ubuntu)
