False error message from server on recipe date

I am getting an error from Conan about the date of the recipes during package upload:

ERROR: Remote recipe is newer than local recipe: 
 Remote date: 1497631534
 Local date: 1497631533

I have two questions:

• The ID of the package to be uploaded is 8b4785d057bc63d4eaaf651d24408163e3623ad7 and this package does not exist under any of the channels. What does that remote date mean when there is no such package on the server?

• I am running the Conan server in a docker container and our CI is using Windows/Linux docker containers. They are all using the same time server. What is causing such a small difference in Remote/Local dates? Is there a configurable option, server side, to ignore small time differences?

BTW, I don’t want to use the --force flag to get around this problem.

I just had this issue, it actually was timezone differences between the differing windows and linux CI machines. the windows VM was picking up time from the host when booting (and you can bet the windows one reboots more frequently) and the host was configured with the incorrect timezone. Where as the linux VM seemed to recifty it’s time correctly as soon as it booted.

I think this was answered and there are some other issues related. I have opened an issue in the docs repo to add this answer. Thanks!
