Bug#345907: locales: Package update overwrites manually set timezone info for Brazil
Package: locales
Version: 2.3.5-11
Severity: normal
The timezone information for Brazil is out-of-date, so I manually update with:
wget http://avi.alkalay.net/software/zoneinfo/Brazil.txt
sudo zic Brazil.txt
Whenever package locales is upgraded, this timezone information is overwritten
and I have to repeat the process. This has just happened again for 2.3.5-10 ->
2.3.5-11.
It would be good: either to update the timezone info for Brazil or, if that's
not possible, to ask berfore overwriting manually updated timezone info, as it
happens with configuration files.
