Package: awstats
Version: 6.4-2
Severity: normal

/usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl line 4942 contains \\[([^ ]+) [^ ]+\\]
corresponding to the date field (for LogFormat 4). Thus the server
timezone, matched by the second [^ ]+, is not taken into account.
This is an error because the server may be a remote machine in a
different country, with a timezone different from the one the user
wants (e.g. where he lives, or possibly UTC time if the page is to
be viewed by anyone in the world).

Note: applying a fixed difference as some log analyzers do is also
wrong, since the country may have different DST rules.
