Bug#695938: locales: date format %x returns wrong format in Dutch
Package: locales
Version: 2.11.3-4
Severity: minor
LC_TIME=nl_NL date +%x
Expected result:
----------------
14-12-2012
Actual result:
--------------
14-12-12
I'm from the Netherlands and can assure you nobody writes or uses dates like
"dd-mm-yy", while the documentation of strftime (man strftime) states "%x The
preferred date representation for the current locale without the time."
