This might not be a pressing bug, but it can actually occur even before 2038. I use a mail indexer that offers to search mails between time spans. In order to find "future" mails (one would be surprised at what weird dates some mails have), it searches mails before 2050 by default. Which won't return any hits, as this is 1910 or so...
I just checked and Ubuntu is using a signed long for time_t, which will fail in 2038. Switching to a long long will be the correct solution, although I doubt that it will come from Ubuntu. This is rather something more upstream... -- Y2K38 bug will render 32-bit Ubuntu installations unusable on 19/1/2038 at 03:14:07 UTC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401611 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
