From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050921 Red Hat/1.0.7-1.4.1 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: On satellite 4.0.1 (installed with en_GB.UTF-8) the date of an errata is reported in DD/MM/YY format. However on RHN hosted 4.0.1 the date of an errata is reported in MM/DD/YY format. Check RHSA-2005:420 for an example, the issue date is: 6/8/05 on the satellite 8/6/05 on hosted I suggest that we use a non-ambiguous date format in order to prevent confusion among clients - MM/DD/YY is only used in the US to my knowledge. Perhaps DD-MMM-YY (e.g. 27-Sep-05) would be better? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite 4.0.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RHN satellite (not sure if locale has an impact on this) 2. Search for an errata 3. Compare errata issue dates Actual Results: Issue date on satellite appeared different from that on RHN hosted due to using different date format. Expected Results: Date format should be consistent and non-ambiguous. Additional info:
This bug is filed against RHN/Satellite Server but it blocks bug 218517 -- rhn510h-triage. I assume this is not correct and it should be moved to rhn510s-triage or converted to use the sat-5.1.0 flag.
