Package: coreutils Version: 5.2.1-2 Severity: minor $ touch -m --date="1970-01-01 0:0" /tmp/kak $ ls -l /tmp/kak -rw-r--r-- 1 tpo tpo 0 1970-01-01 00:00 /tmp/kak
ok, this looks fine $ touch -m --date="1800-01-01 0:0" /tmp/kak touch: invalid date format `1800-01-01 0:0' all right, fine with me, touch doesn't like dates that are too remote $ touch -m --date="1900-01-01 0:0" /tmp/kak $ ls -l /tmp/kak -rw-r--r-- 1 tpo tpo 0 1901-12-13 21:45 /tmp/kak oops, now what's this? touch accepts the time, but aparently it's too remote anyway?
