+Subject: [PATCH] tests: fix expected output for old file
+
+Thanks Victor Rodriguez. Upstream thread:
+http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-cpio/2015-06/msg00000.html
+
+* tests/symlink-bad-length.at (STDOUT): Expect the year string
+'2014' is printed and not time because the file in archive is
+older than 6 months.
+* Thanks: Mention Victor.
