About the fix, I think $now should also be fixed, as it will be invalid on these dates.
Regarding coreutils, I really can't understand how this can be considered the correct behavior. If it accepts dates formated as "yyyy- mm-dd", it should handle it the best as possible. I wouldn't be surprised to find other scripts that rely on this. And, if you decide this is really correct, there must be some kind of warning somewhere, so that other programmers don't need to predict such strange behavior. -- date returns "invalid date" for some timezone's DST https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/354793 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
