Bug#880053: [plasma-widgets-addons] Ending of DST not updating TimeZone display



Package: plasma-widgets-addons
Version: 4:5.8.5-2
Severity: important

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
With the ending of Daylight Saving Time for the TimeZone of
Europe/London at 01:00:00 UTC on 2017/10/29 I noted the displayed time
jumping back from 01:59:50 to 01:00:00 as anticipated however the
timezone information displayed alongside remained as "(BST)" i.e.
"British Summer Time" - this means that the displayed information is
WRONG.  The display should have switched to "GMT" i.e. "Greenwich Mean
Time" at the same time as the clock was adjusted.  With this error it is
possible in the short term (for the remainder of the hour or so) to be
uncertain as to what the time actually is. 8-P

I am not entirely sure this is the correct package to report this bug
against if it is not please advise me and/or move it to the correct
package if possible.

I would note that a command line invocation of date(1) in conjunction
with the line "TZ='Europe/London'; export TZ" in my ~/.profile yields
the expected "GMT".

It may be that a log out and log back in again to restart the KDE
desktop will correct this - if this does *not* happen I will update the
bug-report when I next restart KDE but that may be some days down the
line...

Stephen
