Hi,
I seem to have found a bug in the date utility, converting from UTC to Sydney
time. It returns invalid date for what should be perfectly valid:
$ TZ='Australia/Sydney' date -d '2020-10-04T02:00:00Z'
date: invalid date ā2020-10-04T02:00:00Zā
$ TZ='Australia/Sydney' date -d '2020-10-04T02:59:59Z'
date: invalid date ā2020-10-04T02:59:59Zā
Note DST in Sydney changed 10 hours earlier:
$ TZ='Australia/Sydney' date -d '2020-10-03T15:59:59Z'
Sunday 4 October 01:59:59 AEST 2020
$ TZ='Australia/Sydney' date -d '2020-10-03T16:00:00Z'
Sunday 4 October 03:00:00 AEDT 2020
I have version 8.25:
$ date --version
date (GNU coreutils) 8.25
