Summary: printf -v not available in bash 3.0 
Distribution: None
Originally reported in: None
Milestone: 2.0
Status: None
Original bug number: 


Initial Comment:
The -v argument to printf was added in bash 3.1-alpha1, it is not available in bash 3.0.

Freddy, you have worked on the areas where printf -v is currently used, could you take a look?

FWIW, I'm not opposed to bumping the minimum required version to 3.1 if this is not sanely fixable otherwise.  (Or if it is fixable and you still have the testsuite running in cron, it'd be nice if it could be run with bash 3.0 as well...)
