Comment 19 for bug 988925

@Patola, I agree that my solution is a hack, and that's why I called it a workaround. Your solution is only a short-term fix, however. The maintainer for util-linux has stated that he plans to drop ddate from util-linux altogether in the future, making it so that compiling with --enable-ddate will no longer work.

I suppose the real solution would be to create a deb package based on the code in that git-hub repository and have it added to the Ubuntu repository, but I don't know how to do that myself.
