Description REdOG 2011-01-22 18:08:36 UTC

Formated dates cannot be created with the date command produced by emerging coreutils 8.7

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
#emerge coreutils

[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/coreutils-8.7  USE="acl nls unicode -caps -gmp (-selinux) -static -vanilla -xattr" 0 kB




Actual Results:  
#date +"%F"
date: extra operand `+%F'
Try `date --help' for more information.

Expected Results:  
2011-01-22

Building from /usr/portage/distfiles/coreutils-8.7.tar.xz produces a date command that accepts the + operand as expected.


#./configure && make && src/date +"%F"

Attach build log - seems to work fine here.

Works for me as well.

Maybe you have some other "date" command in your PATH and that is being called instead. Try calling /bin/date to eliminate that possibility.

Comment 3 REdOG 2011-01-24 17:47:28 UTC

This is definitly not a path issue.

ls -l `which date`
