Package: glibc
Version: glibc-2.3.2.ds1-22sarge4
Severity: critical
Hello - tzdata in glibc for stable is based on tzdata2006b (from edits
in 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge1), this does not have the correct PST changes for
this year for 4 Canadian provinces and the Northwest Territories.
This is a critical functional issue in 'stable' Debian that needs be be
addressed. If needed as a security update.
The tzdata2006b / northamerica file states:
# To reflect all this, the Canada and Winn rules have been adjusted to
# agree with the 2007 US change. This means we assume most of Canada
# will fall into line. However, Alberta, British Columbia,
# Newfoundland, Northwest Territories, and Yukon already have separate
# rules in our database, so for now we'll leave them alone, which
# means that we currently assume these regions will not change their
# rules and will disagree with the US starting in 2007. This
# assumption is probably incorrect, with the possible exception of
# Newfoundland. We plan to adjust the Edm, Vanc, StJohns, and NT_YK
# rules as the corresponding provinces make their announcements.
The first revision of tzdata that does have the correct data is 2006d.

The current tzdata is 2007a
