Hello,

Please check the 2 linux commands:
date -d "$(date +%F\ %H:%M:%S)" +%F\ %H:%M:%S
date -d "$(date +%F\ %H:%M:%S) + 1 minute" +%F\ %H:%M:%S
It's very confusing, because the results of the two commands differ in
one hour and one minute, except of one minute only.
In version 8.26 (released 2016) date gained the "--debug"
option which can help in understanding such issues.
The "+1" is taken to be "UTC+1" time zone, as shown here:
$ date --debug -d "$(date +%F\ %H:%M:%S)" +%F\ %H:%M:%S
date: parsed date part: (Y-M-D) 2018-10-15
date: parsed time part: 10:35:21
date: input timezone: system default
[...]
$ date --debug -d "$(date +%F\ %H:%M:%S) + 1 minute" +%F\ %H:%M:%S
date: parsed date part: (Y-M-D) 2018-10-15
date: parsed time part: 10:35:27 UTC+01
date: parsed relative part: +1 minutes
date: input timezone: parsed date/time string (+01)
[...]
I'm closing this bug, but discussion can continue by replying to this
thread.
