Package: apt-utils
Version: 1.4.7
Generating a (In)Release file with apt-ftparchive, I get this date format:
Date: Tuesday, 15 August 2017 23:16:52
APT returns this warning message when attempting to download the Release file:
[...]
W: Invalid 'Date' entry in Release file [...]
[...]
Looking at an official (In)Release file (for instance
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/Release), I can see the
date format is slightly different:
Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2017 08:29:09 UTC

Hi David,

Oops, you're right. Indeed the release file was created by
apt-ftparchive, but I was passing a -o APT::FTPArchive::Release::Date
option with the offending format, therefore the sane default was not
taken into account. After removing the option, I was able to get the
correct date.
Sorry I haven't noticed this before submitting the bug!
