Package: tzdata
Version: 2011c-0squeeze1

When I choose my timezone, America->Havana it is set as following

Current default time zone: 'America/Havana'
Local time is now:      Mon Jun 13 09:37:48 CDT 2011.
Universal Time is now:  Mon Jun 13 13:37:48 UTC 2011.

so, it is set Central Daylight Time (CDT) -0500, but we actually are in
Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) -0400 right now.

It is understandable, because Cuba Daylight Time have the same letters
and it's prone to confusion.

Consult the following to have an accurate information about this issue.

I'm using Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 kernel 2.6.32-5-686

Mauricio

Cuba is never in EDT. In winter it is in CST (Cuba Standard Time), that
is -0500, and in summer it is in CDT (Cuba Daylight Time), that is
-0400.

The problem you are seeing comes from the fact that tzdata version
2011c-0squeeze1 doesn't contain the 2011 daylight rules for Cuba. They
have been added in version 2011d-0squeeze1 now available in squeeze. 
Please upgrade.
