Package: coreutils Version: 5.2.1-2 Severity: minor 'date' produces erroneous output when TZ is set incorrectly.
This works correctly: $ TZ=GMT date Thu Apr 28 17:45:35 GMT 2005 $ TZ=CET date Thu Apr 28 19:45:38 CEST 2005 This is incorrect, but it looks valid: $ TZ=CEST date Thu Apr 28 17:45:40 CEST 2005 "FOOBAR" should probably be "UCT": $ TZ=FOOBAR date Thu Apr 28 17:45:44 FOOBAR 2005 For reference: $ TZ="" date Thu Apr 28 17:45:49 UCT 2005 -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: hppa (parisc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-rc3-pa1 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.23-1 Access control list shared library ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
