Hello, This on a debian wheezy/testing system:
Currently, my time zone is set to 'America/Los_Angeles': $ cat /etc/timezone America/Los_Angeles $ date Mon Jan 28 11:12:01 PST 2013 Changing it to 'Etc/GMT-8', which should be equivalent to Los Angeles's time zone results in: $ echo "Etc/GMT-8" | sudo tee /etc/timezone Etc/GMT-8 $ cat /etc/timezone Etc/GMT-8 $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdata Current default time zone: 'Etc/GMT-8' Local time is now: Tue Jan 29 03:14:57 GMT-8 2013. Universal Time is now: Mon Jan 28 19:14:57 UTC 2013. Notice that the day moved to Jan 29th. This doesn't seem to make any sense. Is this a bug? NOTE: Repeating the above steps for Etc/GMT+8 results in the correct and expected time. Thanks, Amit -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
