I got a reply to my bug report on gnu.org which says: " From: Paul Eggert <egg...@cs.ucla.edu> It works for me with coreutils 8.31 on RHEL 7 x86-64:
$ date +%-Y -d "- 2010 years" 9 Most likely you are running on a 32-bit machine, and dates in the year 9 cannot be represented in a 32-bit timestamp. So a simple fix would be for you to switch to a 64-bit machine. " I am using 64bit Ubuntu though. I have downloaded and compiled coreutils 8.31 to see if the command worked for me in the upgraded version but the error remains the same. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824688 Title: date+%-Y -d "- N years" errors when N > 111 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/1824688/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
