NetBSD 9.99.76 (GENERIC) #0: Mon Nov 30 22:26:30 UTC 2020  mkrepro@mkrepro.NetBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64
>Description:
There seem to be some bugs in the ``Timezone names'' list in parsedate(3) manual page:

- listed twice with different offsets: acst (+0930), acst (+1030)
- incorrect offset: ist (+0550)
- zp4 (+0400), zp5 (+0500), zp6 (+0600) can't be used in ``date -d ...'' (error: Unrecognized date format) - this may have changed since my system was actually current

>How-To-Repeat:
see the output of:

for tz in acst ist zp4 zp5 zp6; do
date -d "2021-01-01 00:00:00 $tz"
done

Subject: PR/56042 CVS commit: src/lib/libutil
Date: Sun, 16 May 2021 19:42:36 +0000

 Module Name:	src
 Committed By:	kre
 Date:		Sun May 16 19:42:35 UTC 2021

 Modified Files:
 	src/lib/libutil: parsedate.3

 Log Message:
 PR bin/56042

 Fix typos (2nd acst should have been acdt), 0550 for ist should be 0530
 (5.5 hours is not 5 hours and 50 minutes...).

 Comment out the zp4 zp5 and zp6 zone names.   They are supposedly supported
 by the source (they're in the table) but cannot work, as the parsedate
 lexer doesn't allow a "word" to start with an alpha and also contain
 digits.   Maybe (just maybe) that could be fixed sometime, but since these
 have never worked, and no-one has ever seemed to miss them, and they're the
 only words which are of that form, for now, just stop pretending they work.

Thanks for noticing the errors.

Are the changes made to the man page enough to satisfy you?
