Update of bug #28115 (project coreutils):
Status: None => Invalid
Open/Closed: Open => Closed
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #1:
Not a coreutils bug. There has been no change in this behavior in coreutils'
printf:
$ /bin/printf --version | head -n1
printf (GNU coreutils) 6.10
$ src/printf --version | head -n2
printf (GNU coreutils) 8.1.2-f18ee
$ /bin/printf '%.*sn' 3 -----
---
$ src/printf '%.*sn' 3 -----
---
Rather, what you are probably seeing is that your current shell's printf
built-in does not implement the same POSIX extensions as GNU coreutils'
printf.
