Package: coreutils Version: 8.30-3+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I don't know exactly how to formulate the problem, but this certainly feels wrong: user@debian:~$ echo $TZ $TZNAME; ls -l /etc/localtime ; cat /etc/timezone ; date; TZ=Europe/Zurich date; date --iso-8601=seconds; date --rfc-333=seconds; date --rfc-email; date; lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Sep 11 00:01 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Zurich Europe/Zurich Wed 11 Sep 2019 12:42:33 AM CEST Wed 11 Sep 2019 12:42:33 AM CEST 2019-09-11T00:42:33+02:00 2019-09-11 00:42:33+02:00 Wed, 11 Sep 2019 00:42:33 +0200 Wed 11 Sep 2019 12:42:33 AM CEST user@debian:~$ Nobody writes "12:42 AM" in Europe. In fact it might be a bug in date. Because I think most people would interpret 12:42 AM, as just 12:42, not 00:42. I think it should be one of these three instead: Wed 11 Sep 2019 00:42:33 AM CEST Wed 10 Sep 2019 12:42:33 PM CEST // yes, PM Wed 11 Sep 2019 00:42:33 CEST // 24 hour format, without silly AM, PM.
