I use `date -d yesterday +%F` in my shell script to obtain the day of
yesterday. The script is run in 0:00 every day for backup logs.

today (2005-03-28 0:00) there was a problem, that it returned 2005-03-26 !
instead of 2005-03-27

I think, it is because of the time change (27.3. was the daylight-saving
day).

according to the info page (see above), it should be bug.


excuse my miserable english, I hope it's though understandable.
