Bug#618009: date: invalid date `TZ="America/Chicago" now' but Europe/Paris OK |
Date: |
Sun, 13 Mar 2011 09:40:21 +0800 |
Package: coreutils
Version: 8.5-1
File: /bin/date
X-debbugs-cc: address@hidden
for i in Asia/Taipei America/Chicago America/New_York Europe/Paris
do for j in monday now yesterday today tomorrow 12pm
do echo TZ=\"$i\" $j; done; done|date -f -
gives
date: invalid date `TZ="America/Chicago" now' etc.
ONLY when in America, and ONLY when using now etc.
Monday etc. don't trigger the bug.
By the way, America is undergoing a Daylight Savings Time jump right
about now.

Well, there's your answer. You were probably asking for a date/time that
did not exist due to the daylight savings time skip.
