Public bug reported:
I just discovered a printf bug for at least the nb_NO and nn_NO locales
when printing numbers with thousands separator. To reproduce:
#!/bin/bash
for l in de_DE en_US nb_NO ; do
echo "LC_NUMERIC=$l.UTF-8"
for n in 1 100 1000 10000 100000 1000000 10000000 ; do
LC_NUMERIC=$l.UTF-8 /usr/bin/printf "<%'10d>\n" $n
done
done
The expected output of "%'10d" is a right-formatted number string with
10 characters.
The output of the test script is fine for e.g. LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8
and LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8:
LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8
< 1>
< 100>
< 1.000>
< 10.000>
< 100.000>
< 1.000.000>
<10.000.000>
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
< 1>
< 100>
< 1,000>
< 10,000>
< 100,000>
< 1,000,000>
<10,000,000>
However, for LC_NUMERIC=nb_NO.UTF-8 and LC_NUMERIC=nn_NO.UTF-8, the
formatting is wrong:
LC_NUMERIC=nb_NO.UTF-8
< 1>
< 100>
< 1 000>
< 10 000>
< 100 000>
<1 000 000>
<10 000 000>
LC_NUMERIC=nn_NO.UTF-8
< 1>
< 100>
< 1 000>
< 10 000>
< 100 000>
<1 000 000>
<10 000 000>
I reproduced the issue with coreutils-8.32-4.1ubuntu1.1 (Ubuntu 22.04)
as well as coreutils-9.3-5.fc39.x86_64 (Fedora 39).
