Ah, so simple. Good to know problem is solved upstream and thanks for your explanation. But I think in Polish locale it should be changed to "yymmdd" anyway - English way of writing dates is akward ;) BTW. <java-hating>C-ish strfmtime with its "%m%d%y" would be much safer probably - it would have smaller change of getting incidently translated, due presence of % signs ;D</off> Kindly regards, Witek -- Witold Baryluk pe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
