[Bug 1593583] Re: Invalid 'Date' entry in Release file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_yakkety-proposed_InRelease

[David Kalnischkies]

@dino99: Are you sure you haven't (partially) upgraded just the 'apt'
package? In that case this would be expected as the "fix" is in libapt-
pkg5.0 build by the apt source package – the ubuntu repository was most-
recently updated in a 2-digit hour, while both PPAs were last updated in
single-digit hours…

Anyway, I wrote a patch upstream avoiding the use of std::get_time by
doing the parsing of the timestamps more manually for the "time" being
which accepts days/hours even if they are single-digit…
