Comment 0 for bug 1824688

I have been using 'date +%-Y -d "- 2010 years" in a script for years but today after using the script after upgrading to disco it has failed.

After some experimentation it succeeds with upto 111 years but fails from 112 onwards.

Error given is:

'date: invalid date '- 112 years'.
