Dear maintainer:

During a rebuild of all packages in unstable, your package failed to build:

Note 1: If this was a random package I would use "important" here, but
according to the description the purpose of this package is to handle
dates and times, so I consider this not suitable for release.

Note 2: To reproduce, please try this:

faketime "2025-03-31 12:00:00" dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -b

[...]

Confirmed.

I've sent a bug report upstream [1].



The test fails on:
```
$this->assertTrue(Carbon::parse('2019-06-02 12:23:45')->is('June'));
```

Clearly that's June even on March 31. Unfortunately, PHP disagrees.

```

# }

var_dump(new DateTime("June"));
# class DateTime#4 (3) {
#   public $date =>
#   string(26) "2025-07-01 00:00:00.000000"
#   public $timezone_type =>
#   int(3)
#   public $timezone =>
#   string(3) "UTC"
# }
```

However, I'll challenge the severity, because the bug is inherited from PHP's built-in date-time handling. PHP in general has this problem with dates. var_dump(new DateTime()); # class DateTime#1 (3) { # public $date => # string(26) "2025-03-31 12:00:00.000000" # public $timezone_type => # int(3) # public $timezone => # string(3) "UTC" So while it's definitely incorrect, it's consistent with PHP's built-in behavior.
