I am going to upload a workaround for systemd's tests for resolute, but
not for stonking since we should get rust-coreutils 0.9.0 soon-ish.
** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu Stonking)
Status: New => Won't Fix

--no-hostname -o short-monotonic -u TEST-45-TIMEDATE.service -p info
This is due to a bug in rust-coreutils: the timestamp passed to --since
is created in TEST-45-TIMEDATE.sh with `date +"%F %T.%6N"`, but rust-
coreutils does not honor the %6N:
$ date --version
date (uutils coreutils) 0.8.0
$ date +"%F %T.%6N"
2026-06-18 09:47:50.283170485
versus GNU:
$ gnudate +"%F %T.%6N"
2026-06-18 09:47:56.642318
This is already fixed upstream, and should reach Ubuntu via 0.9.0:
https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/12001
+
+ [Test Plan]
+
+ The TEST-45-TIMEDATE test should pass during the upstream dep8 test.
+
+ [Where problems could occur]
+
+ The change is to invoke gnudate instead of date inside
+ TEST-45-TIMEDATE.sh. This is only a test script, so has no exposure to
+ users. So, possible issues would be that the test is broken some other
+ way.
