Package: coreutils Version: 8.5-1 File: /bin/date Maybe this is only my misunderstanding or a documentation omission. But I'm under the impression, that date prints the timezone incorrect in some cases:
$ for tz in UTC UTC+2 UTC-2 ; do TZ=$tz date ; done Fri Oct 21 20:55:45 UTC 2011 Fri Oct 21 18:55:45 UTC 2011 Fri Oct 21 22:55:45 UTC 2011 The times are correct, but I expect the output with the correct timezones: Fri Oct 21 20:55:45 UTC 2011 Fri Oct 21 18:55:45 UTC+2 2011 Fri Oct 21 22:55:45 UTC-2 2011 The same questionable behaviour is shown in case of GMT instead of UTC. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
