About the fix, I think $now should also be fixed, as it will be invalid
on these dates.
Regarding coreutils, I really can't understand how this can be
considered the correct behavior. If it accepts dates formated as "-
mm-dd", it should handle it the best as possible. I wouldn't be
surprised t
I am not sure why I also got coreutils nominated for releases... sorry.
I do not know if Dapper/Gutsy are also affected (don't have them).

Here is a possible fix for apt. Basically, if date exits with error when
getting the data on the stamp file, remove the stamp file and continue
as if the stamp file didn't exist. This should allow apt to recover
regardless of DST or date bugs.

FYI-- an affected timezone is America/Sao_Paulo (at least a few others in BRT
are not affected). With America/Sao_Paulo, have (locale does not matter):
$ date --date=2009-10-18
date: invalid date `2009-10-18'

@Alexandre: thank you for bringing this to our attention. I do not
believe 'date' behaviour will be changed (since it is, after all,
correct), but an internal discussion with the security folks got us back
as a security issue.
Please do keep on bringing us any issues you find.

Marking coreutils bug as "Won't Fix" as upstream isn't fixing it because
they feel that returning 'Invalid date' is correct behavior.

/etc/cron.daily/apt needs to be more robust in case the stamp files have
an invalid date. The upstream bug clearly indicates that the developers
don't intend to fix this bug, so /etc/cron.daily/apt needs to better
handle this condition.

If this isn't a security bug on date, it is, at least, a security bug on
apt, since, as I said, it makes well configured servers out of date.
