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
