bsdcpio test failure

[FileX]

Hello,

I am stuck in building libarchive on kubuntu 23.10.

The output told me to report the test failure here, so I have attached the log files all together.

Good luck and if you need more feel free to ask.

This test is failing because the dates are being formatted as “1月 1 1970” and the test seems to be expecting “1 1 1970”. This looks like a mistake in the design of this particular test, which is either failing to fully specify the locale it expects or is failing to correctly handle output in the current locale.

As far as I can tell from the log information here, it looks like bsdcpio is actually working correctly in this particular case.

I’m surprised this hasn’t been reported earlier. What locale is your system set to use?

Tim

P.S. I suspect that this might be enough to fix this particular test; if you could try this and let me know, I would appreciate it.
