Well... I submitted the patch with the tests to bug-gnulib mailing list. I think that handling date-format "HH:MM + X minutes" is better than handling "HH:MM +T day ago" (+T means timezone here, +X means relative offset number, HH hours, MM minutes). This is the obscure format currently considered

Yes and no ... patch to fix the issue was proposed to upstream in the set of date.y patches. However, they didn't accepted full set (separate patches for separate issues with tests were requested) and this one last part is still not submitted. I have the patch ready (at least almost ready), but as

It's all about bison parser in gnulib's getdate.y ... that one is not perfect - and I tried to improve it a bit in past months - 4 bugs solved - that one issue is still not commited to upstream although I have fix prepared. To explain why it is the behaviour like this I'll take one example... $

I have the same problem on gutsy (coreutils 5.97-5.3ubuntu). A workaround is to specify as a first operation "0 min" (so without a + or - sign, as Tino suggests) and then the actual operation. e.g. : date -d "2007-03-23 21:01 0 min -10 min" At least for me, it works. -- Calculations by

its also in coreutils 6.0 so it's upstream. If you do: date -d '11:40 8 minutes' (so leave out the '+'), it gives the right answer: 11:48 11:40 60 seconds gives 11:41 (correct) 11:40 + 1 day gives correct answer 11:40 1 day gives correct anser. With day, week, year, you can add the plus sign, (
