[Solved]Pinpoint exo_strdup_strftime .xsession-error spamming

I'm trying to narrow down this error to what package;

 (Thunar:672): exo-WARNING **: 09:15:09.536: exo_strdup_strftime does not support modifier for non-numeric escape code %_A
 (Thunar:672): exo-WARNING **: 09:15:09.536: exo_strdup_strftime does not support modifier for non-numeric escape code %_a
 

Both work equally to display the weekday name in Thunar date column, yet cause this spam
Only in i686 version, same setting in amd64 does not cause this spam. It adds a error line every few seconds while any user thunar window is open.

from history I assume this started ~9/20/22 in Debian Bookworm i686
exo-utils (4.16.3-1) to 4.16.4-1
libexo-2-0 (4.16.3-1) to 4.16.4-1
libexo-common (4.16.3-1) to 4.16.4-1

Any clues which package I should file against?

Thunar is generating  this message when you set a custom date format. The function "exo_strdup_strftime" was deprecated and replaced in thunar 4.17.9 (here is the work effort). Not sure its worth it to create a bug report.

Thank you much.
I'll watch, 4.17 is not in yet.

Fixed, it was my issue!
