Bug#61703: timezones: Incorrect behavior after time change
Package: timezones
Version: 2.0.7.19981211-6
Severity: normal
My /etc/timezone is set to US/Central as i appropriate for my region. On
Sunday, my location switched to Daylight Savings Time, meaning an advance in
the clocks of one hour. Upon the first usage after that, the computer's
clock was correctly so advanced. However, after a reboot, the computer's
clock was back to the previous settings. This behavior appears to happen
every time there is such a time change; it NEVER does it properly
automatically.
This machine does at times use NTP. However the bad behavior occurs
regardless of whether ntp is in use at a particular time.
