Package: libc6
Version: 2.1.2-12
Severity: important
I had the following symlink:
$ ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 Jan 19 16:03 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Europe/Amsterdam
A previous upgrade left me without a /etc/localtime for some reason,
which is why I created the symlink.
Now, when upgrading libc6 to 2.1.2-12 from -11, tzconfig was run:
: Preparing to replace libc6 2.1.2-11 (using .../libc6_2.1.2-12_i386.deb) ...
: Unpacking replacement libc6 ...
: Setting up libc6 (2.1.2-12) ...
: Running 'tzconfig' to set this system's timezone.
:
: Please enter the number of the geographic area in which you live:
:
:
: 1) Africa 7) Australia
:
: 2) America 8) Europe
:
: 3) US time zones 9) Indian Ocean
:
: 4) Canada time zones 10) Pacific Ocean
:
: 5) Asia 11) Use System V style time zones
:
: 6) Atlantic Ocean 12) None of the above
:
:
:
: Then you will be shown a list of cities which represent the time zone
: in which they are located. You should choose a city in your time zone.
:
: Number: 8
:
: Amsterdam Andorra Athens Belfast Belgrade Berlin Bratislava Brussels
: Bucharest Budapest Chisinau Copenhagen Dublin Gibraltar Helsinki Istanbul
: Kaliningrad Kiev Lisbon Ljubljana London Luxembourg Madrid Malta Minsk
: Monaco Moscow Oslo Paris Prague Riga Rome Samara San_Marino Sarajevo
: Simferopol Skopje Sofia Stockholm Tallinn Tirane Tiraspol Uzhgorod Vaduz
: Vatican Vienna Vilnius Warsaw Zagreb Zaporozhye Zurich
:
: Please enter the name of one of these cities or zones
: You just need to type enough letters to resolve ambiguities
: Press Enter to view all of them again
: Name: [] Amsterdam
: Your default time zone is set to 'Europe/Amsterdam'.
: Local time is now: Mon Jan 31 10:14:46 CET 2000.
: Universal Time is now: Mon Jan 31 09:14:46 UTC 2000.
: Current default timezone: 'Factory'.
: Local time is now: Mon Jan 31 09:14:46 Local time zone must be set--see zic manual page 2000.
: Universal Time is now: Mon Jan 31 09:14:46 UTC 2000.
: Run 'tzconfig' if you wish to change it.
Note how first it's OK, the local time is reported correctly.
Then it's set to "Factory" ?! Additionally, I don't see what
"zic" has to do with _setting_ the timezone.
This is seriously screwy, and must be fixed.
Thanks,
Paul Slootman
