Bug#551195: tzdata: Argentina just decided not to move to DST this Sunday :-\
Package: tzdata
Version: 2009n-1.1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Hi!
To keep on with the great work our government has done the past two years
of deciding stuff with 2 or 3 days of anticipation, the government has just
decided that we won't switch to DST this Sunday.
I've thus prepared a patch for the current tzdata in sid, and I'll now
prepare similar patches for the tzdata files in etch and lenny.
I'm attaching here the patch for the sid package. Let me know if you want
me to go ahead and upload it.

Love,
