[Bug 1262787] [NEW] erroneous date (1) error

[Igor Schein]

Public bug reported:

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch)
Release:        14.04
$ apt-cache policy tzdata
tzdata:
  Installed: 2013h-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2013h-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2013h-1ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
$ TZ=Egypt date -d 20100430
date: invalid date 20100430

I see no sensible reason for Apr 30th of any year to be reported as an
invalid date.
