Followup-For: Bug #404965
Hi Ryan,
Until I get through end-of-quarter maddness I can't look at source code
and help there, but running into the problems with time calculations in
'at' I wanted to file the report since my symptoms seem to go beyond
those already listed in the bug as seen via reportbug.
1) Looks like I really do have version 3.1.10, by dpkg, but "dpkg --list"
and "at -V" differ in reported version for "at", so yes, it is still in
3.1.10. Shouldn't the internal version reported by 'at' and the
external version reported by 'dpkg' agree? Perhaps I just checked them
incorrectly?
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ at -V
at version 3.1.9
vs.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# dpkg --list | grep -w ' at'
ii at 3.1.10
Delayed job execution and batch processing
2) In addition to the year being incremented incorrectly (which I saw in
the notes in #404965, the day of the week also wanders INSIDE the year.
Use/test case - scheduling 1 job for 18:00 Sunday, 2 through 26 weeks out.
Notice the multiple foul-ups:
jump from 2007 to 2009 (which should be 2008)
shift from Sunday to Tuesday as it jumps into 2009
shift from Tuesday (incorrect) to Monday (incorrect) in March 2009
