Package: libc6 Version: 2.7-18 I found that date command doesn't work well with leap seconds after 2037-11-01 with right/EST5EDT timezone.
% TZ=right/EST5EDT date -d @2140668023 Sun Nov 1 01:59:59 EDT 2037 % TZ=right/EST5EDT date -d @2140668024 Sun Nov 1 01:00:24 EST 2037 The second after 01:59:59 EDT should be 01:00:00 EST, not 01:00:24 EST. It seems a problem of localtime(). % cat localtime.c #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <time.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { time_t t; struct tm *tmp; t = atol(argv[1]); tmp = localtime(&t); if (tmp == NULL) { fprintf(stderr, "localtime error\n"); exit(1); } printf("%d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d %s %s (%ld) %ld\n", tmp->tm_year + 1900, tmp->tm_mon + 1, tmp->tm_mday, tmp->tm_hour, tmp->tm_min, tmp->tm_sec, tmp->tm_isdst > 0 ? "dst" : tmp->tm_isdst == 0 ? "std" : "unknown", tmp->tm_zone, tmp->tm_gmtoff, t); return 0; } % gcc -Wall localtime.c % TZ=right/EST5EDT ./a.out 2140668023 2037-11-01 01:59:59 dst EDT (-14400) 2140668023 % TZ=right/EST5EDT ./a.out 2140668024 2037-11-01 01:00:24 std EST (-18000) 2140668024 % dpkg -l|grep libc6 ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libc6-dbg 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Libraries with debugging symbols ii libc6-dev 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Header Files ii libc6-i686 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i686 optimized] % dpkg -l|grep tz ii tzdata 2008h-2 time zone and daylight-saving time data % uname -a Linux nute 2.6.26-1-486 #1 Fri Mar 13 17:25:45 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux This problem may be related to #522949.
