This bug was fixed many years ago, although it seems it wasn't
backported to Dapper. Closing as Fix Released.

       Status: New => Fix Released

Title:
  date returns the wrong day (DST problem?)

Status in coreutils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: coreutils

  In Dapper, the "+1 week" relative time specification seems to be wrong.
  ~$ date
  Sun Oct 26 12:39:09 EDT 2008
  ~$ date --date="next Saturday"
  Sat Nov  1 00:00:00 EDT 2008
  ~$ date --date="next Saturday + 1 week"
  Fri Nov  7 23:00:00 EST 2008

  However, the same commands return the correct information on a Hardy machine:
  ~$ date
  Sun Oct 26 12:41:27 EDT 2008
  ~$ date --date="next Saturday"
  Sat Nov  1 00:00:00 EDT 2008
  $ date --date="next Saturday + 1 week"
  Sat Nov  8 00:00:00 EST 2008

  So it looks like something that has been fixed upstream.  Could the
  fix be included in Dapper?  It bit me pretty badly this week.
