The recent "touch -d yesterday" might be a 'gotcha'
( http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2015-12/msg00041.html ) .


Something like:
  On GNU/Linux, "touch -d now" requires only write permissions to a file,
  while "touch -d [SPECIFIC-DATE]" requires file ownership or root permission
  (and similarly, "touch -t").
