[Bug 696658] Re: Zone error at start and click Today button

[Kees Cook]

This is very easy to reproduce using the "faketime" tool:

    faketime 8pm dates

and if your TZ is not near GMT, you'll be on the wrong day. After
applying the patch, the "Today" button works as expected. Since upstream
has not responded and we're close to release, I've created a cdbs patch
and changelog and uploaded the fixed package. Thanks again for the
patch!

Title:
  Zone error at start and click Today button

Status in Dates is a small, lightweight calendar:
  New
Status in “dates” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: dates

  Using Dates application I could realize that it was changing to next
  day after 6pm, I was thinking that maybe there was a misconfiguration
  on my system, but looking at the code I saw a call that always is
  returning the date of the GMT, making that behavior due to I am on
  GMT-6 zone.

  I've looking at the issue and I will upload a fix.

  Any doubt just let me know.
