Subject: `date -d $(date)` error for non en_* locale
Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2022 17:44:00 +0300

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

$ date -d "$( date )"
date: invalid date ‘Пн 17 окт 2022 17:34:00 EEST’

$ date -d "Mon 17 oct 2022 17:34:00 EEST"
Пн 17 окт 2022 17:34:00 EEST

According to "do one thing and do it well" and to the fact of '-d/--date'
option existence, `date` should be able to parse its default output in any
locale.

Yours faithfully,
Ruslan Kovtun.
