Package: faketime
Version: 0.9.10-2.4
Severity: normal
It seems faketime prevents date's --utc option from working - under
faketime date gives the same output with or without --utc (NZDT is my
local timezone):
$ date
Fri 17 Jan 2025 14:44:50 NZDT
$ date --utc
Fri 17 Jan 2025 01:44:50 UTC
$ faketime -f '1980-12-08 00:00:00' date
Mon 08 Dec 1980 00:00:00 NZDT
$ faketime -f '1980-12-08 00:00:00' date --utc
Mon 08 Dec 1980 00:00:00 NZDT
I would expect the last command to report:
Sun 07 Dec 1980 11:00:00 UTC
I've filed at the default priority as I'm not sure what's going on and
so don't know what the full impact of this is.
Cheers,
Olly
