Holger seems to be working on the assumption that the patch was not applied, whereas when I look at the git log I see that Christian committed that change on Oct 22 last year, and that the change was in the changelog as version 1:0.60 I've not checked when that got into an installer, but I guess it did quite a long time ago. The version in the current installer is 1:0.66 Presumably (judging from the fact that Holger's still talking about it) the patch didn't work for some reason. OK, so I just tried it with the debian-8.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso image, and Holger is certainly right (see screenshot attached). I note that there is only Berlin listed if I run this on the console: # grep DE /usr/share/tzsetup/tzmap DE Europe/Berlin Whereas there is mention of both in /var/lib/cdebconf/templates.dat in tzsetup/country/DE in the Choices: and Choices-C fields. I guess that's the cause of this bug. In tzsetup there is a line: zone=$(grep "^$CC" /usr/share/tzsetup/tzmap | cut -d ' ' -f 2) which I suppose we were expecting to do the trick, but that's in an if's else branch, so I guess we're actually using the then branch instead. tzsetup has not been touched since 2009, so it's not been introduced recently there. Did anyone actually test that the patch did what we had hoped after Christian's commit? Cheers, Phil.
