date command produces trailing space from %d format sequence from latest coreutils package in lucid.

[B. D.]

The %d format sequence used in date from coreutils version 7.4-2ubuntu2 did not output a trailing space, however in version 7.4-2ubuntu3 the %d format sequence outputs a trailing space.

It may be that the change was deliberate, however, the man page has not changed.

Description: Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS
Release: 10.04

2)
7.4-2ubuntu3

3)
I believe the %d format sequence should output a 2 digit day of the month
Man page excerpt
"%d day of month (e.g, 01)"
e.g. "01"

4)
A script of mine relied on the old behavior, such that a command stopped working which revealed the trailing space to me.
e.g. "01 "
