Package: coreutils
Version: 5.2.1-2
Severity: minor
$ touch -m --date="1970-01-01 0:0" /tmp/kak
$ ls -l /tmp/kak
-rw-r--r-- 1 tpo tpo 0 1970-01-01 00:00 /tmp/kak
ok, this looks fine
$ touch -m --date="1800-01-01 0:0" /tmp/kak
touch: invalid date format `1800-01-01 0:0'
all right, fine with me, touch doesn't like dates that are too remote
$ touch -m --date="1900-01-01 0:0" /tmp/kak
$ ls -l /tmp/kak
-rw-r--r-- 1 tpo tpo 0 1901-12-13 21:45 /tmp/kak
oops, now what's this? touch accepts the time, but aparently it's too
remote anyway? Or what's happening here?

I can't reproduce this bug; I suppose it has been fixed upstream.
$ touch -m --date="1900-01-01 0:0" /tmp/kak
touch: invalid date format `1900-01-01 0:0'
This is with coreutils-5.97-5.3
Can you confirm this behavior?
Confirmed and closing the bug. Thanks a lot Justin.
