The printf utility provided by coreutils when interpreting '\%o' format does not recognize %o as formatting directive. For example printf '\%o 0 returns \%o and warning: ignoring excess arguments, starting with ‘0’, which results in failed tests in t5309-pack-delta-cycles.sh. In most shells the test ends with success as the printf is a builtin utility. Fix it by using '\\%o' which is interpreted consistently in all versions of printf.
