This is related to https://bugs.debian.org/877900 . Youve have according to: > Kernel: Linux 5.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/32 CPU cores) > Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, > TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE > Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), > LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) set en_US.UTF-8 locales, thus LC_TIME to en_US.UTF-8. This was to some extend discussed as well on debian-devel recenty around this thread: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2019/02/msg00092.html Regards, Salvatore
