------- Comment From JREMUS at de.ibm.com 2024-12-09 04:18 EDT-------
I have successfully verified that printf of floats now works fine on s390x with the fixed bash package from oracular-proposed:

Verification that it fails on vanilla Ubuntu 24.10:

$ docker run -it --rm public.ecr.aws/docker/library/ubuntu:24.10
...
# bash -c "printf '%f\n' 1.1"
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Verification that is is fixed with bash/oracular-proposed:

# sed -i -s "s/^Suites: oracular .*/& oracular-proposed/" /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources
# cat <<EOF >/etc/apt/preferences.d/proposed-updates
# Configure apt to allow selective installs of packages from proposed
Package: *
Pin: release a=oracular-proposed
Pin-Priority: 400
EOF
# apt-get install bash/oracular-proposed

  ---Problem Description---
  bash printf of floating point value fails on Ubuntu 24.10
   
  ---uname output---
  Linux tuxmaker 6.11.0-8-generic #8-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 16 12:49:35 UTC 2024 s390x s390x s390x GNU/Linux
   
  Machine Type = IBM z16 Model A01 
   
  ---Steps to Reproduce---
  Ubuntu 24.10 on s390x:

  $ bash -c "printf '%f\n' 1.1"
  [1]    3372599 segmentation fault  bash -c "printf '%f\n' 1.1"

  
  Ubuntu 24.10 on x86-64:

  $ docker run -it --rm public.ecr.aws/docker/library/ubuntu:24.10
  root at 99a22af7f0f4:/# bash -c "printf '%f\n' 1.1"
  nan

  
  It used to work on Ubuntu 24.04 on x86-64 (and s390x):

  $ docker run -it --rm public.ecr.aws/docker/library/ubuntu:24.04
  root at 61fbb357246c:/# bash -c "printf '%f\n' 1.1"
