Package: shellutils
Version: 2.0-4
Severity: wishlist
[a program of mine is converting 2 digit dates to four digit dates by
prepending the first two chars of the current year to it. I ran it on an
old email]
~$ date --date "12/15/2037"
Tue Dec 15 00:00:00 GMT 2037
~$ date --date "12/15/2038"
date: invalid date 12/15/2038'
Ugh!
I think wishlist is fairly appropriate :-)

Both of these appear to work correctly in coreutils 9.7-3, at least
on amd64 and i386-on-amd64.
