The problem is that: touch '-d+N month' for N={01..12} ... in general does not create 12 files with timestamps in different months. If you run it today (May 29th), touch '-d+09 month' results in March 1st while touch '-d+10 month' results in March 29th. Consequently, both 09.ts and 10.ts have the same month (March) to begin with and the check for duplicates has to fail: ++ echo 'Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Mar Mar Apr May' ++ sort ++ uniq -d ++ wc -l + n_dupes=1 + test 1 = 1 + test 1 = 0 + fail=1 + break 2 + test 1 = 1 + echo 'misalignment or ambiguous output in C locale:' misalignment or ambiguous output in C locale: + LC_ALL=C + TIME_STYLE=+%b + ls -lgG 01.ts 02.ts 03.ts 04.ts 05.ts 06.ts 07.ts 08.ts 09.ts 10.ts 11.ts 12.ts -rw-rw-r-- 1 0 Jun 01.ts -rw-rw-r-- 1 0 Jul 02.ts -rw-rw-r-- 1 0 Aug 03.ts -rw-rw-r-- 1 0 Sep 04.ts -rw-rw-r-- 1 0 Oct 05.ts -rw-rw-r-- 1 0 Nov 06.ts -rw-rw-r-- 1 0 Dec 07.ts -rw-rw-r-- 1 0 Jan 08.ts -rw-rw-r-- 1 0 Mar 09.ts -rw-rw-r-- 1 0 Mar 10.ts -rw-rw-r-- 1 0 Apr 11.ts -rw-rw-r-- 1 0 May 12.ts
