Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 18.04, using german locale, GNU date (v 8.28) doesn't accept
it's own output format using date -d. This is awkward, as date -d is
meant to parse all "natural" formats, and of course the output of date
will often be stored and need to be read again.
What have I done?
Run the test case
date -d "`date`"
on up-to-date Ubuntu 18.04 with de_DE.UTF-8 locale.
What happens?
date complains that the input has invalid date format.
What I expect to happen?
GNU 'date -d' should be able to read the date text created by 'date' without
further options.
