Package: tzdata
Version: 2014c-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

This is a new computer and a new Debian install.

I have set my timezone to Europe/London, and later I have noticed that my clock is 1 h late.

At this moment the time is 23:20 in London, 0:20 in Budapest.

KDE clock shows me this: UTC 22:20, London 22:20, Budapest 0:20. London seems to be 1h off.

$ cat /etc/timezone 
Europe/London
$ date
Fri 23 May 22:23:39 UTC 2014

I think it should say
Fri 23 May 23:23:39 BST 2014

KDE expects /etc/localtime to be a symlink while on a Debian system it
is used to be a copy of the file. That's why the configuration is
broken. tzdata 2016a-1 changed /etc/localtime into a symlink, as a
consequence the KDE configuration now works fine. I am therefore closing
the bug.
