Bug#566750: rhythmbox: Podcasts with dates before 1/1/1970 come after today's date

[Nathan A. Stine]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.12.6-2
Severity: normal

I noticed after importing the oyez.org podcast for 1969 US Supreme Court cases,
rhythmbox thinks that all dates before the Unix epoch are after the current
date.

Without looking into it too much, I'll bet that there is no code to check if
the date value is negative, which implies a date before 1/1/1970.

For testing purposes, the podcast you would want to import is located at this
link:

Thanks,

Nathan A. Stine
