Bug#775179: libc-bin: C.UTF-8 locale has wrong time format
Package: libc-bin
Version: 2.19-13
Severity: normal
I’m puzzling a bit, and was searching for a locale with
ISO 8601 time, to set my LC_TIME to. During that, I found:
tglase@tglase:~ $ LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8 date +'%x %X'
12/01/15 10:28:01
tglase@tglase:~ $ LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 date +'%x %X'
01/12/2015 10:28:05 AM
tglase@tglase:~ $ LC_TIME=C.UTF-8 date +'%x %X'
01/12/2015 10:30:17
tglase@tglase:~ $ LC_TIME=C date +'%x %X'
01/12/15 10:30:19
tglase@tglase:~ $ ssh tglase-bsd "date +'%x %X'"
01/12/15 09:30:28
The last one is for verification (C is correct, C.UTF-8 isn’t);
the host has only the C locale but a different timezone, hence
the output.
