Package: tzdata Version: 2024b-1 Severity: normal Hi,
starting with 2024b-1 the timezone offset in /etc/localtime is always zero: $ mmdebstrap --variant=essential --include=python3-dateutil --essential-hook='echo tzdata tzdata/Areas select Europe | chroot "$1" debconf-set-selections' --essential-hook='echo tzdata tzdata/Zones/Europe select Berlin | chroot "$1" debconf-set-selections' --chrooted-customize-hook='python3 -c \'from dateutil import tz; from datetime import datetime; print(datetime.strptime("2024-2-3T12:13", "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M").replace(tzinfo=tz.gettz()).utcoffset())\'' unstable /dev/null [...] 0:00:00 But if you replace unstable with testing in the above call to get version 2024a-4 it returns: 1:00:00 I also tested with other zones like Australia/Adelaide (should be 10:30:00).
