Title:
date returns the wrong day (DST problem?)
Status in coreutils package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: coreutils
In Dapper, the "+1 week" relative time specification seems to be wrong.
~$ date
Sun Oct 26 12:39:09 EDT 2008
~$ date --date="next Saturday"
Sat Nov 1 00:00:00 EDT 2008
~$ date --date="next Saturday + 1 week"
Fri Nov 7 23:00:00 EST 2008
However, the same commands return the correct information on a Hardy machine:
~$ date
Sun Oct 26 12:41:27 EDT 2008
~$ date --date="next Saturday"
Sat Nov 1 00:00:00 EDT 2008
$ date --date="next Saturday + 1 week"
Sat Nov 8 00:00:00 EST 2008
So it looks like something that has been fixed upstream. Could the
fix be included in Dapper? It bit me pretty badly this week.
