systemd-timedated will read /etc/timezone if /etc/localtime is not a symlink, so dpkg-reconfigure tzdata will work and make /etc/localtime available without /usr.
/etc/localtime is also a regular file after installation. This condition only results from using systemd-timedatectl to change the timezone. sorry for the confusion. -Shawn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
