--- Begin Message ---Package: apcalc Version: 2.12.1.13-3 Severity: normal What works, and what fails: # add 2 to index with 'for' loop (this works) % for f in `seq 3` ; do calc $f + 2 ; done 3 4 5 # same code, but with a 'while read' loop (it fails) % seq 3 | while read f ; do calc $f + 2 ; done 3 2 3 'calc' behaves correctly at first, (it prints 3), then outputs the index '$f' without adding 2. Most utils aren't confused by 'while read': % seq 3 | while read f ; do expr $f + 2 ; done 3 4 5 I'd guess that a variable input with 'read' is subtly different, (how?), and that 'calc' parses the command line in an unusual way. If that's not a bug, then it should be documented in 'man calc'. (It makes it hard to pump in a big list of numbers to 'calc'.)
