Version: 3.7.9-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch upstream

Hello.

Datefudge is broken on 32-bit architectures (release-critical bug
#1028587).  The author recommends to use alternative tools in message
24 of the bug log.  Only two consumers are remaining, gnutls28 and
oath-toolkit.

The attached diff replaces datefudge with faketime in gnutls28.
The change only affects tests.
A test fails after a local build, but the timestamps seem correct.

The severity is 'wishlist' for gnutls28, but the attached patch (and a
similar one for oath-toolkit) would allow to remove the datefudge
package and 1 RC bug from bookworm.
