Package: libc-bin
Version: 2.13-35
Severity: important
Hello,
the version of 'zic' in 'libc-bin' in Debian Wheezy seems to no
longer creates the localtime conversion file correctly.
On Debian Squeeze:
root@squeeze32:~> zic -l Europe/Berlin
root@squeeze32:~> file /etc/localtime
/etc/localtime: timezone data, version 2, 8 gmt time flags, 8 std time flags,
no leap seconds, 144 transition times, 8 abbreviation chars
On Debian Wheezy:
root@wheezy32:~> zic -l Europe/Berlin
root@wheezy32:~> file /etc/localtime
/etc/localtime: broken symbolic link to `../posix/Europe/Berlin'
zic obviously tries to create a symbolic link to the correct timezone
conversion file. Alas, the symbolic link created is relative and
the source directory is obviously a subdirectory of /usr/share/zoneinfo
while the localtime conversion file is saved as /etc/localtime, hence
a dangling symbolic link is created.
Cheers,
Adrian
