Package: coreutils Version: 5.97-5 Severity: normal Issuing the date command with the -d switch, I would expect that date interprets the -d argument according to locales.
If I have a date as 21 Set 1996 (Set is the abbreviation for italian settembre = english september), I expect the behaviour $ env LC_ALL=it_IT.UTF-8 date -d "21 Set 1996" sab set 21 00:00:00 AST 1996 On the contrary it gives date: invalid date `21 Set 1996' apparently there isn't a way to tell date that the -d argument is in italian locale. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-486 Locale: LANG=es_DO.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_DO.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.41-1 Access control list shared library ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libselinux1 1.30.27-3 SELinux shared libraries coreutils recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
