Comment 6 for bug 51106

I have the same problem on gutsy (coreutils 5.97-5.3ubuntu).

A workaround is to specify as a first operation "0 min" (so without a + or - sign, as Tino suggests) and then the actual operation. e.g. :

      date -d "2007-03-23 21:01 0 min -10 min"

At least for me, it works.
