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"
