@drwetter , it doesn't work for Ubuntu 25.10. Both date -r 735275209 and date -r @735275209 return current date without an error. So the first conditional statement still succeeds and sets HAS_OPENBSDDATE=true

works for all "older" Linux systems, MacOS, OpenBSD and according to #teki69
also Ubuntu 25.10 .

Ubuntu 25.10 has transitionned from GNU Core-utils to Rust Core-utils. That changes the testing
results which date version to use for displaying / conversion of dates like in certificates.
Probably more Linux distriutions will follow. See also #2909 .

For maintenance reasons it is advised also the stable version will get this patched. For
3.3dev, see #2913 .
