No sense this makes as the "Last-Modified" date the http binary is complaining about here is a valid date and parses just fine here. Until you realize that this is a locale thing. The French have a space as thousand separator, so the parser (which I would actually consider another stdlibc++6 bug) eats the entire string on the basis that spaces aren't field but thousand separators (and 'Jun' looks very numberish for some reason…). The solution is simple – and I wonder why it wasn't in the second rewrite as it was part of the first – just ensure we parse in a locale with less ambiguous numeric formatting like all the locales apt developers operate in, or C.UTF-8 for fairness. As apt isn't really in the business of printing numbers setting LC_NUMERIC=C.UTF-8 as a workaround should keep the l10n intact. As I said the last two times already: How hard can date parsing be… Best regards David Kalnischkies
