Re: Processed: reassign 95254 coreutils
reassign 95254 libc6
thanks
This bug goes to libc6 because the ambiguity is introduced by it, not
coreutils. date(1) includes a bison parser, but that only parses the
input--the output is generated by strftime. There's no parser in the
world that can guess what "EST" is supposed to mean if it has two
completely different meanings.
env TZ=Australia/NSW perl -e 'use POSIX qw(strftime); $_=strftime("%Z",localtime); printf "$_\n";'
EST
Note that this is only stftime, not date(1) and that the TZ output is
"EST". If you don't want to fix this you can close it, but you can't
reassign it to me.
