So > there must be something off with the default value to -t I should have documented this possibly more clearly in the NEWS.Debian file, or maybe make a 3.x release, but I changed the semantics of the commandline arguments quite significantly. The arguments are now a time, and you need to provide a -t (or add it to your config file) for undertime to work. I'll take this bug report as a request to improve the error message and/or data structure. Really, args.timezones should be an empty list instead of None here, I think.

Package: undertime Version: 2.6.0 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Hello, I'm currently getting stack traces consistently when using undertime. No matter the timezone that I request, I get a stack trace with a TypeError exception: $ undertime pt Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/undertime", line 994, in main(args) File "/usr/bin/undertime", line 733, in main timezones += filter(None, [guess_zone(z) for z in args.timezones]) TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable $ undertime PST WARNING: date provided cannot be parsed: PST Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/undertime", line 994, in main(args) File "/usr/bin/undertime", line 733, in main timezones += filter(None, [guess_zone(z) for z in args.timezones]) TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable If I run that last command with pdb, e.g. python3 -m pdb /usb/bin/undertime PST and then (r)un the program until the error, I can see that args.timezones is set to None: (Pdb) type(args.timezones) now from there, I tried using "undertime -t PST" and that actually worked.
