            Bug ID: 11356
           Summary: Busybox used in Motioneye - date setting keeps
                    increasing the year
           Product: Busybox
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
          Assignee: unassigned at busybox.net
          Reporter: kenneth at leewm.com
                CC: busybox-cvs at busybox.net
  Target Milestone: ---

There’s something not quite right with the “date” command in the MotionEye OS
which makes use of busybox.

I try to set the day to the current date but the resultant year keeps
increasing by 1 each time I do a “date –s”
[root at meye-09f2c071 etc]# date +%Y%m%d -s 20180914
20190818
[root at meye-09f2c071 etc]# date +%Y%m%d -s 20180914
20200818
[root at meye-09f2c071 etc]# date +%Y%m%d -s 20180914
20210818
[root at meye-09f2c071 etc]# date +%Y%m%d -s 20180914
20220818
[root at meye-09f2c071 etc]# date +%Y%m%d -s 20180914
20230818

Hi Kenneth,

I tried this myself and saw that strange behavior. I don't know what the cause
could be for that, but:
•       this looks like a bug in busybox which provides the date
implementation, so you could report this problem to then
