• Bug#819342: More brokenness in date(1) around DST

    From Andras Korn@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 31 16:40:01 2024
    Hi,

    my timezone is CEST; we switched from CET today.

    % TZ=Europe/Budapest LC_TIME=C date --date 'tomorrow 2:30'
    date: invalid date ‘tomorrow 2:30’

    2:30 would be invalid today (2:00am became 3:00am), but it exists tomorrow, and date(1) can print that date if I request it in a different way:

    % TZ=Europe/Budapest LC_TIME=C date --date 'now+10 hours+30 minutes'
    Mon Apr 1 02:30:51 CEST 2024

    This also works:

    % TZ=Europe/Budapest LC_TIME=C date --date @1711931400
    Mon Apr 1 02:30:00 CEST 2024

    Best regards,

    András
