** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * An upstream change in version 1.6 turned out to break
+    depending on the current timezone (that is how it went undetected
+    for so long)
+ 
+  * Upstream undid the change and we want to follow them by backporting 
+    that.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * root@h:~# TZ=America/New_York jq -n 
'"2018-08-31T00:00:00Z"|fromdate|todate'
+ "2018-08-31T01:00:00Z"
+ 
+ This should return the same time as it was passed.
+ 
+ [Where problems could occur]
+ 
+  * jq can do many things and handling date conversions is just a small 
+    fraction of it. But in that fraction fromdate|todate and regressions 
+    would happen to take place.
+    And vice versa - if a jq user does not use those conversions it should 
+    be a no-op for him.
+ 
+    Another regression could be if users were aware and added workarounds 
+    (like doing -1 after the conversion). Obviously by fixing this it would 
+    then be -1 off afterwards.
+ 
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+  
+  * n/a
+

  When trying to build jq locally it FTBFS for me since the unit tests
  that run during the build and check the output of fromdate fail:
  
  Testing 'fromdate' at line number 642
  *** Expected 1425599507, but got 1425603107 for test at line number 644: 
fromdate
  Testing 'strptime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")' at line number 646
  Testing 'strptime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")|mktime' at line number 650
  *** Expected 1425599507, but got 1425603107 for test at line number 652: 
strptime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")|mktime
  
  This is caused by this upstream bug
  https://github.com/stedolan/jq/issues/2001 which was fixed by this
  upstream commit
  https://github.com/stedolan/jq/commit/3c5b1419a278dfb192666b33197dc182c670290d
  but this fix is not yet in 1.6-2 as shipped in Ubuntu.
  
  See attached for a debdiff which includes the upstream patch to resolve
  this.

Title:
  jq fromdate is one hour off and hence FTBFS when local time is during
  daylight savings
