Bug#452938: tzdata: Upgrading changes timezone
X-Reportbug-Version: 3.39
X-Debbugs-Cc: philipp.marek@bmlv.gv.at
Package: tzdata
Version: 2007i-2
Severity: normal
Summary: upgrading shouldn't destroy the configuration.
I got an upgrade of tzdata just now:
Vorbereiten zum Ersetzen von tzdata 2007i-1 (durch .../tzdata_2007i-2_all.deb) ...
Entpacke Ersatz für tzdata ...
Richte tzdata ein (2007i-2) ...
User defined timezone, leaving /etc/localtime unchanged.
Local time is now: Mon Nov 26 08:12:01 UTC 2007.
Universal Time is now: Mon Nov 26 08:12:01 UTC 2007.
Run 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' if you wish to change it.
Whereas my configured timezone was UTC-1 (see end of mail).
localtime apparently wasn't touched, but the time given is wrong:
$ ls -la /etc/localtime
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 801 2007-07-03 08:45 /etc/localtime
$ date
Mon Nov 26 08:28:22 UTC 2007
$ TZ=UTC date
Mon Nov 26 08:29:15 UTC 2007
$ TZ=UTC-1 date
Mon Nov 26 09:29:53 UTC 2007
Reconfiguration solves it, though:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
Current default timezone: 'Europe/Vienna'
Local time is now: Mon Nov 26 09:31:50 CET 2007.
Universal Time is now: Mon Nov 26 08:31:50 UTC 2007.
$ date
Mon Nov 26 09:31:53 CET 2007
