Package: tzdata Version: 2026b-0+deb12u1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, What led up to the situation? I am using Debian 12 (Bookworm/oldstable) with tzdata 2026b-0+deb12u1. The IANA tzdata 2026c release introduced a change making Morocco UTC+0 year-round from 2026-09-20. Debian already provides tzdata 2026c for newer releases, but Bookworm still provides 2026b. What exactly did you do? I configured the system timezone as Africa/Casablanca and checked it after 2026-09-20 using: timedatectl What was the outcome? The system reports: Time zone: Africa/Casablanca (+01, +0100) because the Bookworm tzdata package does not contain the new Moroccan timezone rule. What outcome did you expect instead? I expected Africa/Casablanca to report UTC+0 after 2026-09-20, in accordance with Morocco's current civil-time rules and the corresponding IANA tzdata 2026c rule. Could tzdata 2026c (or the corresponding timezone correction) be made available for Debian 12 Bookworm/oldstable? -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.15 APT prefers oldstable-updates APT policy: (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable-security'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-53-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages tzdata depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.82 tzdata recommends no packages. tzdata suggests no packages. -- debconf information: tzdata/Zones/Pacific: tzdata/Zones/Atlantic: tzdata/Zones/Asia: tzdata/Zones/America: tzdata/Zones/Australia: tzdata/Zones/US: * tzdata/Areas: Africa tzdata/Zones/Antarctica: * tzdata/Zones/Etc: UTC tzdata/Zones/Indian: tzdata/Zones/Arctic: tzdata/Zones/Europe: * tzdata/Zones/Africa: Casablanca
