Details

Upstream fixed an issue in paclog with timezones ahead of UTC: https://github.com/andrewgregory/pacutils/commit/f2ecde23e2399449582fe0eebf0409b94f3eb05f

Originally reported by j605 on IRC #archlinux. I took the liberty to report it upstream.

$ pacman -Qi pacutils | grep Version
Version : 0.5.0-1

$ timedatectl
Local time: Thu 2017-06-29 06:10:04 CEST
Universal time: Thu 2017-06-29 04:10:04 UTC
RTC time: Thu 2017-06-29 04:10:04
Time zone: Europe/Berlin (CEST, +0200)
Network time on: yes
NTP synchronized: yes
RTC in local TZ: no

$ echo "$(date -Iminutes --date '3 days ago')"
2017-06-26T06:10+02:00

$ paclog --after "$(date -Iminutes --date '3 days ago')"
Unable to parse date '2017-06-26T06:11+02:00'

Untill upstream does a new release the added patch fixes this issue.

Regards.

Uhhh... how is this a bug in Arch's packaging?

I don't see sufficient justification to do a backport here. Bugs happen, bugs get fixed, and *bugfixes get packaged when upstream releases them*. Backports happen when security or data loss issues are involved.

Feel free to install pacutils-git from the AUR if you want to follow development and get the latest fixes as they come in.
