Description:

The "-twentyfour" option to xclock appears to have no effect:

$ xclock -digital -twentyfour

displays a digital clock in 12-hour (AM/PM) format, not in 24-hour format as stated in the man page for that option. See attached screenshot.

I thought maybe the "-twelve" and "-twentyfour" option processing somehow got swapped, but tried the "-twelve" option and it also displays 12-hour format.


Package version:
xorg-xclock 1.0.6-1


Steps to reproduce:
See above

Confirmed with LANG=en_US.utf8 xclock -digital -twentyfour. Please check for upstream issues or report a new one.

Hi Andreas... pardon my ignorance with this question, but not sure what the action item for me is here ("Please
check for upstream issues or report a new one"). Is there something specific that I need to do to ensure that
upstream is aware of the bug, or...?

(I'm the original reporter.)

Thx.
