Package: coreutils Version: 8.13-3.5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
currently, I experience a strange behavior of "date --date=@<seconds>" option; looks like some timezone problem (EET is the system timezone): $ date --date='@2147483647' Tue Jan 19 05:14:07 EET 2038 $ date --date='@0' Thu Jan 1 03:00:00 MSK 1970 $ date --date='@1' Thu Jan 1 03:00:01 MSK 1970 $ date --date='@100' Thu Jan 1 03:01:40 MSK 1970 $ date --date='@100000000' Sat Mar 3 12:46:40 MSK 1973 $ date --date='@1000000000' Sun Sep 9 04:46:40 EEST 2001 $ date --date='@10000000000' Sat Nov 20 19:46:40 EET 2286 With UTC option, it seems to display a correct date/time & timezone: $ date -u --date='@2147483647' Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 UTC 2038 $ date -u --date='@0' Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 UTC 1970 $ date -u --date='@1' Thu Jan 1 00:00:01 UTC 1970 $ date -u --date='@100' Thu Jan 1 00:01:40 UTC 1970 $ date -u --date='@100000000' Sat Mar 3 09:46:40 UTC 1973 $ date -u --date='@1000000000' Sun Sep 9 01:46:40 UTC 2001 $ date -u --date='@10000000000' Sat Nov 20 17:46:40 UTC 2286 -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.9 ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-10 ii libacl1 2.2.51-8 ii libattr1 1:2.4.46-8 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libselinux1 2.1.9-5 coreutils recommends no packages. coreutils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
