patches/packages/aaa_base-15.0-x86_64-4_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt. If root's mailbox did not already exist, it would be created with insecure permissions leading to possible local information disclosure. This update ensures that a new mailbox will be created with proper permissions and ownership, and corrects the permissions on an existing mailbox if they are found to be incorrect. Thanks to Martin for the bug report. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/util-linux-2.37.4-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. This release fixes a security issue in chsh(1) and chfn(8): By default, these utilities had been linked with libreadline, which allows the INPUTRC environment variable to be abused to produce an error message containing data from an arbitrary file. So, don't link these utilities with libreadline as it does not use secure_getenv() (or a similar concept), or sanitize the config file path to avoid vulnerabilities that could occur in set-user-ID or set-group-ID programs. For more information, see: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-0563 (* Security fix *)

+.TH DDATE 1 "Bureaucracy 3161" "ddate" "Emperor Norton User Command"
+.SH NAME
+ddate \- convert Gregorian dates to Discordian dates
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B ddate
+.RI [ \fB+\fPformat]
+.RI [ date ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B ddate
+prints the date in Discordian date format.
+.PP
+If called with no arguments,
+.B ddate
+will get the current system date, convert this to the Discordian
+date format and print this on the standard output. Alternatively, a
+Gregorian date may be specified on the command line, in the form of a numerical
+day, month and year.
+.PP
+If a format string is specified, the Discordian date will be printed in
+a format specified by the string. This mechanism works similarly to the
+format string mechanism of
+.B date(1),
+only almost completely differently. The fields are:
+.IP %A
+Full name of the day of the week (i.e., Sweetmorn)
+.IP %a
+Abbreviated name of the day of the week (i.e., SM)
+.IP %B
+Full name of the season (i.e., Chaos)
+.IP %b
+Abbreviated name of the season (i.e., Chs)
+.IP %d
+Cardinal number of day in season (i.e., 23)
+.IP %e
+Ordinal number of day in season (i.e., 23rd)
+.IP %H
+Name of current Holyday, if any
+.IP %N
+Magic code to prevent rest of format from being printed unless today is
+a Holyday.
+.IP %n
+Newline
+.IP %t
+Tab
+.IP %X
+Number of days remaining until X-Day. (Not valid if the SubGenius options
+are not compiled in.)
+.IP %{
+.IP %}
+Used to enclose the part of the string which is to be replaced with the
+words "St. Tib's Day" if the current day is St. Tib's Day.
+.IP %\.
+Try it and see.

+.SH EXAMPLES
+.nf
+% ddate
+.br
+Sweetmorn, Bureaucracy 42, 3161 YOLD
+.PP
+% ddate +'Today is %{%A, the %e of %B%}, %Y. %N%nCelebrate %H'
+.br
+Today is Sweetmorn, the 42nd of Bureaucracy, 3161.
+.PP
+% ddate +"It's %{%A, the %e of %B%}, %Y. %N%nCelebrate %H" 26 9 1995
+.br
+It's Prickle-Prickle, the 50th of Bureaucracy, 3161.
+.br
+Celebrate Bureflux
+.PP
+% ddate +"Today's %{%A, the %e of %B%}, %Y. %N%nCelebrate %H" 29 2 1996
+.br
+Today's St. Tib's Day, 3162.
+.br
+
+.SH BUGS
+
+.B ddate(1)
+will produce undefined behavior if asked to produce the date for St. Tib's
+day and its format string does not contain the St. Tib's Day delimiters
+%{ and %}.
+
+.SH NOTE
+
+After `X-Day' passed without incident, the Church of the SubGenius
+declared that it had got the year upside down - X-Day is actually in 8661 AD
+rather than 1998 AD. Thus, the True X-Day is Cfn 40, 9827.
