This file indeed exists in the tzdata sources, but I really doubt it
should be installed on the system as the header says:
/*
** This header is for use ONLY with the time conversion code.
** There is no guarantee that it will remain unchanged,
** or that it will remain at all.
** Do NOT copy it to any system include directory.
** Thank you!
*/
Therefore if OpenCFLite should probably not use this file, or if it
really needs to, it should proide it.
I therefore don't think it's a bug in the tzdata package.
