date: --date returns wrong time, off by 1 hour #8976
Description
On Ubuntu 25.10 I noticed that date returns wrong/different time than GNU coreutils. I'm also adding output of timedatectl just to verify that both machines run in the same timezone should this be related in any way.
Ubuntu 25.10:
root@ubuntu:~# timedatectl
Local time: Wed 2025-10-22 13:53:03 CEST
Universal time: Wed 2025-10-22 11:53:03 UTC
RTC time: Wed 2025-10-22 11:53:04
Time zone: Europe/Prague (CEST, +0200)
System clock synchronized: no
NTP service: inactive
RTC in local TZ: no
root@ubuntu:~# date --date="2031-01-26 8:30"
Sun Jan 26 07:30:00 CET 2031
Fedora 42:
❯ timedatectl
Local time: Wed 2025-10-22 13:53:55 CEST
Universal time: Wed 2025-10-22 11:53:55 UTC
RTC time: Wed 2025-10-22 11:53:55
Time zone: Europe/Prague (CEST, +0200)
System clock synchronized: yes
NTP service: active
RTC in local TZ: no
❯ date --date="2031-01-26 8:30"
Sun Jan 26 08:30:00 AM CET 2031
As you can see on ubuntu 25.10 this returns 07:30:00 time whereas on Fedora I'm getting 08:30:00.
