Package: coreutils Version: 9.4-3 Version: 9.1-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Per #1094384 we know that numfmt will, by default,
reproduce the input XXX.YYY format.
Except it doesn't actually, with --to!=none:
it truncates to no precision (XXX):
$ numfmt ' 1.1 10.1 100.1 1000.1' --field - --to iec
1 11 101 1001
$ numfmt ' 1.1 10.1 100.1 998.1 999.1' --field - --to si
1 11 101 999 1.0K
All of these can be represented precisely, none of them are.
The astute reader will note that this is an error of 10%/8.9%/&c.
Best,
