[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
hello, I am an user of Xubuntu, and in the documentation (manual page) 
of _date_, I've red a small syntax error in the details of 'output format':

if you write 'minute (00..59)' or 'hour (00..23)', I think you must 
write 'second (00..59)' instead of 'second (00..60)' too.

regards

Thank you for your bug report.  If you find anything else please
continue to report it.

However you have forgotten about leap seconds.  It is perfectly valid
for seconds to be 60 seconds.  This is not a bug in the documentation.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second

Therefore I am marking the bug as closed.  Thanks anyway!
