Package: jhead
Version: 2.70-1
Severity: normal

The man page reverses the dates for an example of using -da.  From
jhead.1:

  Year on camera was set to 2005 instead of 2004 for pictures taken in April
  .br
  jhead -da2005:03:01-2004:03:01

That command line will *add* one year to the EXIF date.  However, the
original error is that the camera is adding one year to all dates.  To
correct the camera's error, one should subtract a year, like so:

  jhead -da2004:03:01-2005:03:01

Here's the patch:

[I just built and installed the Debian unstable version of jhead to
see if the problem persists, and it does, so I'm reporting the problem
on the Debian BTS even though I run an Ubuntu system.]
