On one server, when i write date (or LC_TIME=sv_SE.utf8 date) I get:

ons 18 nov+ 2015 07.45.+53 CET

when I try it on my desktop i get;

ons 18 nov 2015 07.45.53 CET

Where do the extra "+" comes from? running LC_TIME=en_US.utf8 date don't have extra "+". What file defines the default output format? And to what package do it belong? Hope it can fix it self with just reinstalling the package.

  • Have you checked if date is aliased to something on the server?

  • @kos: alias | grep date give no rows, and /bin/date gives same problems, so I guess date isn't an alias

  • Try type date, type will catch everything, functions, aliases, etc.

That was a bug in the locales package, which was fixed in Ubuntu 13.04.

  • thanks, removing the "+" from /usr/share/i18n/locales/sv_SE and running locale-gen solved it (servers still running 12.04 LTS, hope to have time to fix that too soon)
