On my system, date -d returns "invalid date" for dates before 1970. It is possible that this began when I upgraded libc6. Any suggestions?
$ date -d 1969-12-31 date: invalid date `1969-12-31' $ date -d 1970-01-01 Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 EST 1970 $ uname -srpmvi Linux 2.4.18 #1 Fri Aug 16 15:40:44 EDT 2002 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP1900+ AuthenticAMD $ dpkg -p coreutils | grep Version Version: 4.5.2-1 $ dpkg -p libc6 | grep Version Version: 2.3.1-10 -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
