Bug#352967: xbase-clients: xclock -digital does not take -twentyfour into account and uses asctime() to get the string
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4
Severity: normal
xclock -digital -twentyfour displays the time using the LC_TIME
locale value, which just means that the -twentyfour option is
ignored. The issue does not happen in -brief mode.
By reading the source I would believe that the issue is in
Clock.c, function TimeString :
[...]
else if (w->clock.twentyfour)
return asctime (tm);
else
[...]
asctime uses LC_ALL to determine the format, which means no guarantee
to have a 24 hours layout.
Shouldn't there be an strftime rather to have the 24hours format, ie
something like :
"%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y"
