Package: mksh Version: 46-2 Severity: normal Unlike ksh (and sh), mksh doesn't support octal in arithmetic expressions:
xvii% sh -c 'echo $((010))' 8 xvii% ksh93 -c 'echo $((010))' 8 xvii% mksh -c 'echo $((010))' 10 I hate this feature because of the ambiguity with decimal, but mksh intends to behave like ksh93. So, it should support octal in arithmetic expressions. Note: it is OK for hex support: xvii% ksh93 -c 'echo $((0x10))' 16 xvii% mksh -c 'echo $((0x10))' 16 -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.11-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages mksh depends on: ii libc6 2.17-97 ii libgcc1 1:4.8.2-10 mksh recommends no packages.
