[Bug 2125058] Re: the autopkgtest are failing with rust-coreutils (configure: error: date utility unable to convert epoch to UTC)

[Andreas Hasenack]

I don't think rust-coreutils should include GNU in their output, so I'm
marking the bug invalid for that task. If we find out that rust's
coreutils date command is not compatible enough with GNU's, then that's
worth a separate bug.

Title:
  the autopkgtest are failing with rust-coreutils (configure: error:
  date utility unable to convert epoch to UTC)

Status in kronosnet package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in rust-coreutils package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The current questing-proposed migration report states

   kronosnet blocking build-essential (12.12ubuntu1 to 12.12ubuntu2) for
  13 days

      Regressions
          kronosnet/1.31-1ubuntu1: amd64 (log, history), arm64 (log, history), armhf (log, history), ppc64el (log, history), s390x (log, history)

  Log example
  https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-questing/questing/amd64/k/kronosnet/20250917_144652_6b737@/log.gz

  The error seems to be

  123s checking for BSD date... configure: error: date utility unable to convert epoch to UTC
  123s no
  123s checking for date type... unknown

  The new build-essential basically forces pull in rust-coreutils, so
  probably an issue with those and the tests will get red for any
  trigger once the autopkgtest images are refreshed to do gnu->uutils
