This is on a debian-1.2 system.
I get the same for a slackware-3.2 system with 'sh-utils 1.12'
However I know that with 'sh-utils 1.16' from
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu
I would be getting:
# date --version
date (GNU sh-utils) 1.16
# date -d1year; date -d2years; date -d3years; date -d4years

# date -d40years
date -d40years
Sun Jul 5 00:35:37 EDT 2037
# date -d41years
date -d41years
date: invalid date `41years'
which at least is a bit better ;) As I have just upgraded the
slackware box ...
I have a ls-lRa.gz of ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian and have
' zcat ftp.debian.org-pub.debian-ls-lRa.gz | grep sh-util '
but found no such package ...
Any ideas how on debian do I upgrade the 'date' program
( and the rest of the sh-utils programs )is greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Rob -
