Same with, say, RealField(123), no problem with RDF.

comment:7 Changed 2 years ago by jdemeyer

Is this fix very important to you? Should we fix this bug in Sage right now or is it fine to wait for a future PARI/GP upgrade?

comment:8 Changed 2 years ago by fbissey

  • Cc fbissey added

comment:9 Changed 2 years ago by jdemeyer

  • Milestone changed from sage-8.2 to sage-duplicate/invalid/wontfix
  • Resolution set to duplicate
  • Status changed from new to closed

This will be fixed in Sage by the next PARI upgrade.
