bug#41107: date --date '20180325 02:58:00' fails

2020-05-06 Thread Julien Demaria
Hi,

We found this very suspect behavior:

$ date --date '20180325 02:58:00'
date: invalid date `20180325 02:58:00'

but for the previous day it works...:

$ date --date '20180323 02:58:00'
Fri Mar 23 02:58:00 CET 2018

Is it a bug?

Adding -u or setting TZ seems a workaround.

Tested with version 8.28 on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
and also with version 8.13 on Debian GNU/Linux 7

Thanks in advance,
Julien

Indeed, the debug option shows it:

date --debug --date '20180325 02:58:00'
date: parsed number part: (Y-M-D) 2018-03-25
date: parsed time part: 02:58:00
date: input timezone: system default
date: using specified time as starting value: '02:58:00'
date: error: invalid date/time value:
date: user provided time: '(Y-M-D) 2018-03-25 02:58:00'
date:normalized time: '(Y-M-D) 2018-03-25 03:58:00'
date: --
date:  possible reasons:
date:non-existing due to daylight-saving time;
date:numeric values overflow;
date:missing timezone
date: invalid date '20180325 02:58:00'

As such, I'm marking this issue as 'notabug' in our bug tracker.

Have a nice day,
