Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.6-5 Followup-For: Bug #346342
I would like to add something really annoying to this bug: every time the libc6 package is updated, it overwrites /etc/localtime . This makes this bug REALLY annoying, since the perfectly working workaround of copying the timezone file into /etc/localtime is destroyed all the time. I would like also like to add something to the "dual boot ppl are lame" argument. Many ppl, even those that are full Linux ppl, dual boot to run the odd Windows application. I am one of them, and I have multiple partition, because I run Debian most of the time and like the added reliability (has save my ass before!). So PLEASE, I IMPLORE you, fix this bug. Copying the timezone file to /etc instead of symlinking it is a perfectly acceptable solution, especially if you overwrite /etc/localtime ANYWAYS ALL THE TIME. So PLEASE, fix this ridiculous "easy to fix, but won't do it because of silly ideological concerns", or AT LEAST, don't overwrite /etc/localtime ALL THE TIME.
