Hello,
As a heads-up, the explanation that this is due to time zone+locale doesn't
make sense:
address@hidden:~$ date --utc -d "2014-03-11 12:34:56 -1 day" +"%Y-%m-%d
%H:%M:%S"
2014-03-12 13:34:56
address@hidden:~$ date --utc -d "2014-03-11 12:34:56 -2 days" +"%Y-%m-%d
%H:%M:%S"
2014-03-12 14:34:56
address@hidden:~$ date --utc -d "2014-03-11 12:34:56 -3 days" +"%Y-%m-%d
%H:%M:%S"
2014-03-12 15:34:56
The more days I subtract, the more hours are added. If this were a time
zone issue, the amount of hours added would be constant but the
resulting date would not.
Best,
Marc
