Bug#401221: time zone change - Western Australia, Australia

[Vincent McIntyre <Vince.McIntyre@atnf.csiro.au>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.6.ds1-8
Severity: normal

Hi,

I checked but could not see this filed, apologies if it's done already.

The WA government made a very late decision to start daylight saving
this weekend, 2/3 Dec 2006. This means the timezone data for Australia
need yet another update. This applies to the Stable (sarge) release too,
version 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge4.

NIH has the new data file ready to go and other distros are providing
patches.  ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2006p.tar.gz
