Package: coreutils

Version: 8.30-3

 

When date with the --date='Second xxxxxxxx' argument is invoked it returns
the first occurrence of the day + 1 second.

This is different from the First and Third logic shown in the following
example.

 

$ date

Wed  1 Jul 13:23:09 AEST 2020

 

$ date --date='First Monday'

Mon  6 Jul 00:00:00 AEST 2020

 

$ date --date='Second Monday'

Mon  6 Jul 00:00:01 AEST 2020

 

$ date --date='Third Monday'

Mon 20 Jul 00:00:00 AEST 2020

 

I'd suggest the output should be Mon 13 Jul in this example.
