Summary:	sys-apps/coreutils-8.20: wrong implementation of the -s option of seq
Product:	Gentoo Linux	Reporter:	marius.spix
Component:	[OLD] Core system	Assignee:	Gentoo Linux bug wranglers <bug-wranglers>
Status:	RESOLVED DUPLICATE

Description marius.spix 2013-06-09 11:05:28 UTC

The implementation of the -s option of seq produces wrong results. See "Actual Results" and "Expected Results"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
seq -s ';' 10
Actual Results:  
1
2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;


Expected Results:  
1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10


Because it caused many program faults on my system I would classify this
bug as a major blocker.

I have currently switched to the busybox implementation until this bug will be fixed.

Comment 1 marius.spix 2013-06-09 11:06:43 UTC

Note that the first '\n' in the actual results is not replaced by a ';' when it should be.

Comment 3 marius.spix 2013-06-09 11:11:46 UTC

The output of

seq -s ';' -1 10

is correct:

-1;0;1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10

But the output of

seq -s ';' 0 10

is not correct:

0
1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;

Comment 4 marius.spix 2013-06-09 11:22:06 UTC

Another thing (but not so important is that)

seq -s ';' -- -0 10

prints

-0
-1;-2;-3;-4;-5;-6;-7;-8;-9;.0;.1;.2;.3;.4;.5;.6;.7;.8;.9;/0;/1;/2;/3;/4;/5;/6;/7;/8;/9;00;01;02;03;04;05;06;07;08;09;10;

It has to print either

-0;1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10

or

0;1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10
