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

My experience is similar. I notice that xset is now missing.

What is the correct way to downgrade a package?
I can remove it and then reinstall, but removing xbase wants
to remove an awful lot of other packages with it. (I want to
downgrade xbase because, after installing Version: 3.3.2.3a-4,
I don't seem to have xset anymore.)
$ dpkg --search xset
xload
