Bug#473493: tzdata - Australian states - daylight saving extended by one week

I updated the zoneinfo file on my Debian testing desktop to the latest, correct data (downloaded from upstream), but that did not fix the problem. How did you installed it precisely? A work colleague downloaded the zoneinfo source file for Australasia from the upstream source (a US government site). I then ran the command: # zic australasia as root. The system clock did not change back to daylight saving time. I then ran "/etc/init.d/ntp restart" but that made no difference either. After some further research on the web, I ran dpkg-reconfigure tzdata and that set the system clock back to daylight saving. I did a dpkg-reconfigure tzdata and the problem was gone after that. Did you installed a zoneinfo manually previously? In that case it is normal it is left untouched by tzdata. No. At work I manually installed a zoneinfo file *only after* the daylight saving problem occurred. I had never previously made any manual changes to the zoneinfo files on my work PC. Also: I had the same daylight saving problem on my home PC (Debian testing, completely up to date before the daylight saving switch) and I have never made any manual changes to the timezone configuration on that PC, including zoneinfo files - not even after the daylight saving problem occurred. Simply running dpkg-reconfigure tzdata set the system clock back to daylight saving time on my home PC.

At a guess, would say no - if I was to configure it manually I would more than likely create a symlink rather than copy the file. Maybe I've installed the upstream zoneinfo data, and this has then be overwriten by a subsequent update of the tzdata package (moving daylight savings around with little notice is an annual sport for our politicians). -- Andrew McNamara, Senior Developer, Object Craft http://www.object-craft.com.au/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Since reporting the problem this morning... I updated the zoneinfo file on my Debian testing desktop to the latest, correct data (downloaded from upstream), but that did not fix the problem. I did a dpkg-reconfigure tzdata and the problem was gone after that. This is consistent with the post from Andrew McNamara.

Package: tzdata Version:2008a-1 (testing) tzdata - Australian states - daylight saving extended by one week - zoneinfo files for NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and ACT are incorrect. NSW changed the daylight saving rules in October 2007 (see official website: http://www.nsw.gov.au/daylightsaving.asp) to extend daylight saving until the first Sunday in April, rather than the last Sunday in March. I understand from Wikipedia that Victoria, Tasmania and the ACT have also agreed to alter their daylight saving rules in the same way. I will find official confirmation for those states and territories, if it is needed. Currently, this is causing my system clocks to be out by one hour which is affecting all my logs and onscreen clocks.
